Research Interests
- The interplay between bacterial pathogen and host can either results in clinical disease or resolution of infection. Bacterial pathogens and especially intracellular bacteria have developed sophisticated mechanisms to subvert the host for their own agendas. The interface of host pathogen interactions is fascinating and I have worked with a variety of pathogens over my career including Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Burkholderia pseudomallei, and Coxiella burnetii.
