Research Interests: Determining antigen-specific CD4+ T cell lineage commitment during co-infection with Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Schistosoma mansoni (a parasitic worm).

Current Projects: My project is focused on determining antigen-specific CD4+ T cell lineage commitment during co-infection with Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Schistosoma mansoni (a parasitic worm) in a human cohort in Kenya. I would like to expand this project to include clinical data collected as part of the enrollment process to determine if changes in the immune system associate with different disease outcomes.

System of Study:
