Research Summary
We study host and pathogen mechanisms that regulate growth of Mycobacterium tuberculosis and other mycobacteria. We are using proteomic and genetic tools to probe host responses to infection in macrophages and animal models.

My research is focused on the study of immune responses to pathogens including Mycobacterium tuberculosis. By understanding the mechanisms that enable pathogens to grow within our immune cells, we hope to enable the development of new therapies to treat infectious diseases.

As a pulmonary and critical care physician, I provide patient care in the intensive care units, the adult cystic fibrosis clinic, and the bronchiectasis clinic. I am an Associate Director of the UCSF Adult Cystic Fibrosis program.
