Professional Interests

1. Host-pathogen interactions in Cystic Fibrosis. The goal of this project is to elucidate how Pseudomonas aeruginosa infects airway epithelial cells and forms drug resistant biofilms in patients with CF, and to understand how airway epithelial cells facilitate drug resistant by Pseudomonas aeruginosa using genomic approaches, including RNA-seq and sc-RNA-seq, and proteomic approaches.

2. Host-pathogen cross talk. The goal of this project is to elucidate how extracellular vesicles secreted by the host and by pathogens regulate and modify bacterial infections in the lungs.

3. Arsenic and innate immunity. The goal of this project is to elucidate how arsenic suppresses the innate immune response to viral and bacterial infections.
