- Research:
- Although I am not presently doing any research here at CSU, my past laboratory-based research involved the investigation of immunotherapy- and immunization-based approaches to the prevention and treatment of insect-borne diseases (Leishmaniasis and La Crosse Encephalitis). I have always been intrigued by the interplay between microbial pathogens and the immune system.
