Research & Clinical Interest
My major research interests are the pathogenesis of rabies, the immune mechanisms involved in virus clearance from the central nervous system (CNS), and the development of novel vaccines and immune therapeutics for pre- and post-exposure prophylaxis of rabies and other virus infections of the CNS.
