This researcher studies how cystic fibrosis (a genetic disease caused by mutations in the CFTR chloride channel) affects immune cells like neutrophils and macrophages, and how bacterial infections such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus aureus interact with the immune system in this disease. Recent work also examines how CFTR-targeted drug therapies (modulators like elexacaftor/tezacaftor/ivacaftor) change immune cell function and inflammation. Prospective students would work at the intersection of immunology, microbiology, and respiratory disease research, often using lab models such as mouse models and patient-derived cells.

Publication output was steady at around 4-7 papers per year for most of the last decade, dipped sharply in 2023, then rose notably in 2024-2025.
