Lethal infectious diseases • opportunistic infections • sepsis • bacteremiaResearch Interests
My research focuses on patients with potentially lethal infections, including those with severe manifestations of sepsis, bloodstream infections, and opportunistic infections in immunocompromised hosts. My research program aims to improve morbidity and mortality in these conditions by discovering original treatment strategies through avant-garde clinical trials. I also develop novel diagnostic assays to improve outcomes in these patients, such as using plasma cell-free DNA to monitor the host response to infection and optimize treatment decisions.Team Members
