Expertise

I am a virologist studying host-pathogen interactions in the heart and pancreas.

Though I study a variety of human viruses, my current work focuses on coxsackievirus B3 (CVB3), a common juvenile pathogen, which is known to cause systemic inflammatory diseases such as myocarditis and pancreatitis.
