My work focuses on the development of novel subunit vaccine candidates against M.bovis and M.tuberculosis. I conducted a number of projects to identify promising mycobacterial antigens and tested multiple delivery platforms in mice, to identify the optimal combination for an effective immune response. I have an interest in the respiratory mucosal administration and the induction of lung responses with vaccination. I have also been involved in several projects aimed to understand immune mechanisms behind disease such as the role of nitric oxide, iron and hypoxia.
