Biography:
My field of interest focuses on the immune response to Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb). Recently, my focus has been on immune responses in extra-pulmonary TB (EPTB), such as tuberculous pericarditis (TBP). To this end I use a range of techniques including RNA-seq, untargeted proteomics and flow cytometry.
