Research Interest:
 

My research focuses on studying host-pathogen interaction at the mucosal surface and investigating the role of differential host responses against gut pathogens. Since effective host responses at the mucosal surface can be achieved by directing memory and effector immune cells to the mucosal membranes through tissue-specific homing receptors, my research group is interested in understanding the contributions of the individual host cell types and molecules towards infection and immunity. More specifically, we try to underpin how the virulence repertories of emerging mucosal pathogens such as the Influenza virus and Campylobacter jejuni induce biologically relevant host responses.
