This researcher studies how cells communicate and die in disease, with work spanning liver fibrosis (scarring), heart failure after heart attacks, and tuberculosis infection. A recurring theme is the protein CEACAM1 and its role in liver disease, alongside studies of immune cell trafficking via extracellular vesicles (tiny cell-released particles) and mitochondrial function in infection and metabolic disease. Prospective students would likely engage with lab-based experimental work using cell and animal models to understand disease mechanisms at the molecular level.

Publication output has grown over the last decade, rising from occasional single papers in the late 2010s to a steadier average of about 3 per year in the last 5 years, with a notable increase in 2024-2025.
