Research Focus
My research focuses on the innate and adaptive immune response to bacterial pathogens and largely uses mouse models of infection with Salmonella and Chlamydia. In close collaboration with the Center for Companion Animal Health I initiated a new research focus a few years ago where we generate therapeutic monoclonal antibodies for canine applications.
