Defining the impact of environmental exposures on immune system development and function, with emphasis on how early life exposures shape health and disease later in life.

Effects of exposure to perfluorinated alkyl substances (PFAS) on antiviral immunity

I am interested in studying the effects of PFAS exposure during early life development and its effects on the adaptive immune system. My work is currently focused on how PFAS alter T cell responses to different immune challenges later in life. 

Studying the mechanism of how exposures to perfluorinated alkyl substances (PFAS) alters immune system development and responses to viral infection.
