What are your present research interests?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

My research is focused on innate immune responses and signaling in viral infection and cancer. In particular, my lab focuses on the immunomodulatory protein Annexin-A1 and its receptors, the formyl peptide receptors 1 and 2, and their functions in innate immunity.<\/p>\n

Do you have a distinctive viewpoint to your research?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The innate immune response is the first line of defence against foreign invaders\u2013 finding out how viruses have evolved to evade these defences using host proteins is exciting. Furthermore, how cancer cells can be recognized by the innate immune system is also very exciting as we can find ways to naturally treat cancer.<\/p>\n

What do you see as your future research directions?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Elucidating the roles of the multiple transcription factors involved in innate immunity in viral infection and cancer. Another direction I wish to head, is to study the link between stress and disease.<\/p>\n

Does your laboratory have a particularly strong research expertise?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Molecular biology
\nMouse models of breast and lung cancer
\nAnnexins<\/p>\n
