We develop new approaches to decipher communication between the brain and immune system. We study what these messages mean, how they’re regulated, and how they impact brain health.
Our multi-disciplinary team works on identifying and characterizing novel oncogenes and tumor suppressors in melanocytic neoplasia and understanding their biology.
We study signaling between neural tissues and bodily fluids, with a focus on specialized interfaces near brain ventricles to uncover their roles in health, disease, and therapeutic applications.
My research aims to understand the barriers that prevent HIV cure, with a focus on determining the mechanism governing latent HIV infection and evaluating new therapies aimed to disrupt viral latency.
