Biography

I am currently involved in an in-depth exploration of the lymphohematogenous dissemination of Zika virus. I develop novel imaging protocols and suture assays to help our lab understand antibody protection against Zika virus and to better understand lymphatic drainage in general. I find the best research stems from an interdisciplinary approach, combining both immunology and virology.
