The Big Picture
My work focuses on illuminating the molecular details of immune recognition of cellular lipid membranes.
In particular I'm interested in how discerning immune receptors can be with respect to various membrane parameters. My ultimate goal is to develop a fundamental understanding for the importance of membrane recognition within the larger context of immune regulation and response to infection and disease.
