Research Focus: Host-Microbe interactions during Mycobacterial disease
Mentor: Sunhee Lee

Research Statement: My research interests lie in host-microbe interactions during Mycobacterial infections, particularly in Tuberculosis and Buruli Ulcer. I am interested in the microbial factors that control these interactions. I aim to translate these findings into novel vaccine designs and new host directed therapies.
