Research Interests:

I have been engaged in both primary and collaborative research. My primary research has focused on the immunological correlates and predictors of response to vaccination, including influenza, anthrax, varicella zoster, and the immunological aspects of sarcoidosis. I have also consulted, provided experimental design, and preformed analysis and data interpretations for a variety of projects including the geneticcs of rheumatic heart disease, the development of follicular helper T cells, the V(D)J repertoire of T cells in Sjögren’s syndrome and endothelial transcriptomic changes in aging mice.
