Major Areas of Research
- Functional transcriptomic approaches to characterizing vector salivary proteins
- Development of natural models of vector-transmitted cutaneous and visceral leishmaniases to study the impact of immune responses to sand fly salivary proteins in parasite transmission, early events of pathogenesis post-bite, and adaptive immunity to naturally acquired disease
- Studies of human cellular immune responses to sand fly salivary proteins in volunteers and individuals living in leishmaniasis-endemic areas
- Development of biomarkers for vector exposure using immunogenic salivary proteins
