The focus of our lab revolves around understanding host pathogen interactions. Specifically we are interested in four separate but related questions:
1. How do intracellular pathogens parasitize their host cells?
2. How can we take advantage of pathogen virulence strategies to develop novel antimicrobials?
3. How does the host recognize and respond to infection by intracellular pathogens?
4. How does recognition of intracellular pathogens by the innate immune system drive adaptive immune responses?
