  • My research focuses on the immunology and immunopathology during infection and major diseases. Special interest is the role of monocyte/macrophage cell lineages in these scenarios. My expertise is the use of different imaging techniques (intravital microscopy, live-cell imaging, etc.) to study monocyte/macrophage behavior and functions.
