Human antibody-mediated immunity to inform next-generation
vaccine development; focus on immunity to major viral, bacterial,
and fungal human pathogens using multidisciplinary approaches in
immunology, structural biology,and biochemistry to study
antibody-antigen interactions at the molecular level.
Biology, molecular mechanisms, and population genetics of anthelmintic resistance in
parasitic nematodes
Interactions between microbial pathogens and host immunity in the
mouse model using bacteria that naturally infect mice and
closely related strains that are important human pathogens.
Integrating physiology, genomics, evolution, and microbial symbiosis to understand the biology of insect vectors of disease.
