Immune ageing and viral infections

Immune ageing and viral infections

We are particularly interested in innate immune cells which play a central role in regulating the response to acute infections and controlling inflammation that drives chronic diseases.

Getting to the heart of cardiovascular disease in viral infections

Getting to the heart of cardiovascular disease in viral infections

This project aims to understand the mechanisms of how viral infections can potentiate the development of CVD, with a particular focus on the role monocytes may play in this process.

Impact of a vaginal microbiota metabolite on epithelium integrity and HIV susceptibility

Impact of a vaginal microbiota metabolite on epithelium integrity and HIV susceptibility

We investigate how a factor produced by optimal microbiota augments the cervicovaginal mucosal barrier to prevent HIV acquisition.
