My particular area of interest revolves around understanding the mechanistic basis of immune homeostasis in organs susceptible to inflammatory disease. Past work has included investigating tolerogenic antigen presentation in the intestine, developing new mouse models of colitis and studying the function of novel butyrophilin-like (BTNL) inhibitory molecules.
I am the vice president of the immunology research group at Biogen. The group’s mission is to develop treatments for underserved immune-mediated inflammatory diseases associated with autoimmunity and fibrosis. Research extends from basic target identification and validation through to drug discovery and preclinical development.
