This researcher studies how the immune system malfunctions in autoimmune and allergic diseases, particularly multiple sclerosis and food/skin allergies. Their work focuses on immune cells called T cells and B cells, and how antibodies (like IgE and IgG) and small regulatory molecules (microRNAs) contribute to conditions such as central nervous system autoimmunity, allergic reactions, and autoimmune skin disease. A prospective student would be looking at basic immunology research using mouse models to understand disease mechanisms.

Publication output was minimal or absent from 2017-2019, then became steady at 2-3 papers per year from 2020 through 2025, suggesting a consistent but modest recent publication pace.
