Expertise: We love to study anything that is related to infectious immunology, and are open to other immunology related areas. However, we are particularly interested in studying the infections caused by opportunistic pathogens. We use different classes of pathogens such as Blastomyces sps., Mycobacterium sps., and Toxoplasma sps., and other opportunistic fungal and bacterial sps.

Currently, we are focused on three major fronts in infectious immunology.

1. Innate and adaptive immune responses to bacterial, fungal and protozoan infections and vaccinations.

2. Functional and dysfunctional respiratory immune responses to bacterial and fungal infections.

3. Uncovering the mechanisms involved in immunopathology during immunity to bacterial and fungal infections.
