About
I am a Principal Researcher with more than 30 years of experience in viral pathogenesis, immunology,<br>and aging, with a strong focus on HIV, hepatitis viruses, and emerging viral infections, including SARS-CoV-2. My research integrates molecular virology, host–pathogen interactions, immunometabolism, and tissue-specific mechanisms of viral persistence and damage (liver, lung, CNS,<br>and bone). I have authored over 120 peer-reviewed publications and currently serve as Editorial Board Member of Geroscience (Springer-Nature) and PLoS Pathogens. I have extensive experience in international collaboration and trainee mentorship, and I am well positioned to contribute to multidisciplinary NIH-funded projects addressing viral persistence, immunopathogenesis, and aging-related comorbidities.
