This researcher studies how viruses and viral proteins interact with human cells, spanning topics such as HIV, HTLV-1, Zika virus, and human papillomavirus (HPV), as well as how the placenta defends against infection. Work combines molecular virology, RNA biology, and cell biology techniques (including CRISPR gene editing and organoid models) to understand how pathogens hijack host machinery like tRNA synthetases and signaling pathways (e.g., YAP1/Hippo, RNase L), and how this relates to cancer and immune defense. This research could interest students wanting to explore virus-host interactions, cancer-associated viral proteins, or reproductive immunology.

Publication output has been steady to slightly increasing over the last decade, averaging about 2 papers per year with a modest rise in recent years (2024-2026).
