Read the full research overview
Her research connects host–pathogen interactions and immune mechanisms with the development of possible diagnostics, therapeutics, and vaccines. Projects include recombinant-antigen and messenger-RNA approaches to vaccine development, building on questions about how the immune system recognizes and controls fungal infection. The work brings microbiology and immunology together around a pathogen of substantial regional importance. It focuses on experimental strategies for prevention and treatment while examining the biological mechanisms behind protective responses.
