Current Projects: Modeling the diffusion and attachments and detachments of antibodies, for the purpose of demonstrating their ability to work cooperatively with mucus to trap pathogens, as well as to determine whether or not a treatment with a PEGylated drug can be effective for someone with anti-PEG antibodies in their blood. In my new group, we use agent-based modeling to simulate the immune response to Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection in the lung, which occur at multiple size and time scales.
