Faculty Profile

Research Description

---

I am an HIV/AIDS researcher with broad interests in infectious diseases especially the mechanisms of disease and the immune system. I am an immunologist and a physician pathologist with a research program in West Africa providing many opportunities for research on tropical diseases as well as HIV/TB. Projects can be developed around the students needs so the projects described are able to be modified accordingly to facilitate the greatest learning and outcomes. I welcome LGBLT students and other minorities.
