Research Interests
My project focuses on immunological responses during coinfection with malaria and filaria. In particular I am interested in describing antibody reactivity patterns in single and coinfections. Can particular responses predict the outcome of disease? Is the pattern of antibody reactivity to an established nematode infection altered by an incoming Type 1 pathogen?
