This researcher studies how bacteria, particularly Staphylococcus aureus, evade and interact with the immune system, focusing on biofilms (dense bacterial communities encased in a protective matrix) and how they resist immune cells like neutrophils. Their work also touches on bacterial pigments that protect against immune attack and, in earlier work, how human cytomegalovirus (a common herpesvirus) manipulates host proteins and affects developing brain tissue models.

Publication output was minimal or absent from 2017-2021 but increased noticeably from 2022 onward, suggesting a growing and more active recent research pace.
