Biography

I joined LMIV as a Postdoctoral visiting fellow and worked on a severe malaria anemia project explicitly looking at the role of CD8 T cells contributing to severe malaria anemia during P. coatneyi infection in rhesus macaques. My research interest is to find out the mechanism or plausible immunological and parasitic factors that could cause severe malaria.
