Research interests

I am investigating the molecular mechanisms which drive immunopathology-induced tissue damage and try to identify the key determinants of recovery or organ failure in critical disease.

Techniques, methods & infrastructure

  • Mouse models of infection and sepsis, sterile inflammation and chronic viral infection
  • All standard Molecular Biology techniques
