Research Profile

My interests are in developing vaccines against infectious diseases in humans and animals (veterinary animal and poultry) using recombinant attenuated Salmonella vaccines (RASVs). Current work is focused on Salmonella, Streprococcus pneumonia, Mycobacterium tuberculosis and influenza.
