Summary
- I am a physician-scientist by training. My research dissertation (Ph.D., Microbiology and Immunology) was in the study of Valpha14 invariant NKT cells. My current research interests dwell on the intersection between infectious disease and immunology.
As a pediatrician and pediatric infectious diseases subspecialist, my clinical interests lie in the diagnosis and management of infections in the immunocompromised host, and in primary immunodeficiencies.
