Host Immunity and Vaccination
My research expertise lies at the intersection of immunology, microbiology, and pharmacology. I specialize in vaccine development and translational immunology, focusing on designing effective immunogens and understanding host-pathogen interactions to prevent infectious disease.

A second major focus is combating antimicrobial resistance and ensuring food safety through novel antimicrobial strategies, including alternative therapeutics and resistance surveillance.
Finally, I investigate the pharmacology of bioactive compounds in cancer and immunity, exploring how natural and synthetic molecules modulate tumour biology and immune responses. By bridging preclinical drug discovery with translational applications, my work aims to develop innovative interventions that enhance human health— ranging from next-generation vaccines and antimicrobials to targeted cancer therapies that harness the power of the immune system.
My work focuses on developing vaccines, combating superbugs, and discovering natural compounds for cancer and immune therapy
