Research Interests

Design and delivery of RNA interference (RNAi) with a focus on cells involved in immune responses such as dendritic cells

Future plans

One line of investigation in the lab will be to evaluate RNAi mechanisms using various systems. Part of this project will involve generating novel reagents for siRNA delivery. These reagents will also be used as part of an effort to identify novel genes involved in dendritic cell activation.

Positions available

Technician and postdoctoral positions are available: please email  your CV and a description of interests. AECOM graduate students interested in a rotation project should contact by email to schedule a meeting.
