RESEARCH DESCRIPTION:
The mission of our research is to improve the prevention, diagnosis, and management of birth defects and deficits associated with congenital infections. Our work focuses on defining immune correlates of protection in congenital Zika virus infection, identifying early neural predictors of neurodevelopmental deficits, and understanding the pathogenesis of congenital Mpox (monkeypox virus) infection. We utilize nonhuman primate models and clinically relevant assessments translated from human studies to address these questions.
