Research Expertise

Description

My research focuses on understanding how the immune system changes with age and the role immune dysregulation plays in age-related disease initiation and pathology. In particular, I am interested in investigating how the initiation and regulation of innate immune responses, such as inflammation and anti-viral immunity, change with age, with a focus on how these processed are related to biological ageing and age-associated physiological decline.
