I am a molecular parasitologist exploring parasitism in blood-feeding human helminths, with a particular focus on the molecular biology of parasite feeding and immune evasion. I am utilizing this information to develop anti-helminth recombinant vaccines a
I am an immunologist studying host immune responses during malaria and visceral leishmaniasis, two important human infectious diseases. I aim to identify immune responses that promote safe and effective control of parasite growth and distinguish them from
I am a virologist carrying out research to determine the mechanisms underlying rotavirus cellular tropism and the pathogenesis of rotavirus disease. Rotavirus is the major cause of infantile gastroenteritis worldwide. I am combining the expertise of my group in rotavirus biology with the power of inter-disciplinary collaborations in the areas of sugar chemistry, cell biology, structural biology and diabetes to expand understanding in these areas. Novel treatments and improvements in rotavirus va ....I am a virologist carrying out research to determine the mechanisms underlying rotavirus cellular tropism and the pathogenesis of rotavirus disease. Rotavirus is the major cause of infantile gastroenteritis worldwide. I am combining the expertise of my group in rotavirus biology with the power of inter-disciplinary collaborations in the areas of sugar chemistry, cell biology, structural biology and diabetes to expand understanding in these areas. Novel treatments and improvements in rotavirus vaccines are the long term goal of our research.Read moreRead less
I am a molecular virologist researching the host response to hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection with the aim of understanding how the liver clears HCV infection. An understanding of this process will hopefully lead to novel antiviral strategies to combat not only HCV but a broad range of other viral infections.
I am an immunologist with a background in virology and peptide chemistry and my work is therefore inter-disciplinary but focused on the design of synthetic, epitope-based vaccines against infectious agents particularly influenza and hepatitis C viruses an
I study basic mechanisms of the interaction of pathogens and particles with the immune system, to gain insight into mechanisms of adjuvanticity, immune evasion and generally immuno-modulation. With this specific insight I further pursue the development of
