I'm a molecular immunologist with deep and long-term interest in understanding innate and adaptive host responses at homeostasis and during injury, infection and disease. I've used a variety of models throughout my career to investigate the drivers of immune memory in resolving infection and coercing tissue repair. I've been particularly interested in upstream regulators of effector responses (both innate and adaptive). Excited to connect with like-minded scientists on optimizing solutions in order to resolve important and prevailing gaps in the field.
