My research has been focussed on the innate lymphocyte mechanisms under inflammatory conditions, furthering the understanding of the roles of commensal and pathogen responses in tissue homeostasis and microbial defence at the cellular and molecular level. I have specific interests in the involvement of lipid-reactive T cells. With high dimensional transcriptomics, T cell clonality analysis, and TCR editing approaches, the main goal of my studies is to progress translationally towards the evaluation of promising new therapeutic targets and the discovery of new lipid candidates for immune intervention.
