I study basic mechanisms of the interaction of pathogens and particles with the immune system, to gain insight into mechanisms of adjuvanticity, immune evasion and generally immuno-modulation. With this specific insight I further pursue the development of
I am a virologist exploiting basic and applied research on hepatitis viruses to develop biotechnology innovations in diagnostics and vaccines for a broad range of infectious diseases
My research straddles biochemistry, cell biology and immunology. I am interested in the mechanisms of antigen presentation by dendritic cells, and the functions of the cystatin family of protease inhibitors.
I am a cancer epidemiologist, specialising in molecular epidemiology. I investigate the genetic and environmental causes of gynaecological cancers, and their consequences (prognosis, survival, quality of life, economic).
