Biography
As an undergraduate I was able to partake in research that studies the innate immune mechanisms behind vaccine induced protection against cryptococcal meningitis and the role of the immune response in directing diet-induced liver disease. Currently, as a postbaccalaureate fellow in Dr. Brenchley’s lab I aim to understand how the composition of the microbiome relates to progressive SIV infection of Asian macaque nonhuman primates.
