Research/Areas of Interest:

I am currently investigating the comparative genomics of the major pathogenic Borrelia species that cause human Lyme disease. I am also deeply interested in delineating protective and pathogenic immune responses in human Lyme borreliosis, their genetic determinants, and characterizing how these responses shape the clinical course and outcome of the disease in patients..
