Background & Research Interest
I have expertise ranging from biochemistry and redox biology to cellular and molecular immunology and toxicology. Currently the focus my research is on the cytotoxicity and immune response of cellulose-based nanomaterials and their potential application as vaccine adjuvants. I have been working in collaboration with a colleague from my department who synthesizes and characterizes the nanomaterials.
