Research Interests:
- Chronic Hepatitis C and its progression mechanisms
- Hepatitis C Virus dynamics and clinical outcomes
- Extracellular vesicles as biomarkers in diseases like pulmonary arterial hypertension and preeclampsia
- Fibrosis and its role in hepatocellular carcinoma
- Viral infections (e.g., SARS-CoV-2) and their impact on comorbidities.

Recent Research Trends: Recent articles focus on interplay between viral infections (HBV, herpesviruses, HCV) and comorbidities, extracellular vesicles as diagnostic tools, and demographic factors influencing viral loads. He also investigates vascular complications in systemic sclerosis and preeclampsia pathophysiology.
