Invite for collaborations
My research focuses on the outcome of critical care illnesses (traumatic brain injury, sepsis, cardiac surgery, ECMO) with a particular emphasis on the immune system participation in short and long-term outcomes. More specifically, I focus on the regulation of leukocytes as the leading source of immunoparalysis, leading to unfavorable clinical outcomes. I am also interested in analyzing the interaction between immune system components and neuronal system. In my research, I occasionally use humanized mice, wild type mice, and drosophila model of critical care illnesses. The lab performs a variety of techniques from RNA-, DNA seq, PCR, ELISA, flow cytometry and Western/Southern/Northen Blot in addition to several immune assays. I am also interested in several other projects from the field of behavioral economy, nudging and implementation science.

My passion is providing support to future generations of medical professionals and being a mentor is creative and fulfilling work that begins with creating a tailored plan that fits both the mentee’s and mentor’s interests, goals and passion.
Potential projects include a variety of options and tailored to the needs of the students but within a framework of research activity of the lab. Each project will be discussed with student in terms of responsibilities, expectations and desired outcomes. This is ongoing enrollment through engagement less than 3 months will not provide an experience satisfactory for the student.
An international student should take the test before formally applying. Though I am happy to conduct
Mentoring is a key part of being part of my research enterprise. Several key manuscripts may be helpful
