About

My research focuses on investigating the viral-neuro-immune dynamics of infectious diseases. Particularly, that of how the nervous system crosstalk with the immune system during infection with clinically important arboviruses. Investigating this intriguing relationship allows for the identification of potential novel host-directed immunotherapeutic targets and will have significant long-term clinical implications in improving patients’ health and providing better value-based healthcare.
