Ricardo D'Elia

Ricardo D'Elia is a Professor at the University of Strathclyde, affiliated with the Strathclyde Institute of Pharmacy and Biomedical Sciences. His research focuses on immunology, infectious diseases, and host-pathogen interactions.

Research Interests: Dr. D'Elia investigates mechanisms of immune modulation in infectious diseases, particularly melioidosis caused by Burkholderia pseudomallei. His work explores the therapeutic potential of CpG oligonucleotides and CD200R activation in combination with antibiotics, aiming to develop novel host-directed therapies for bacterial infections.

Publication Trends: Recent articles highlight his expertise in immunopharmacology, experimental infection models, and non-traditional antimicrobial strategies. Studies focus on molecular mechanisms of immune regulation, therapeutic applications of oligonucleotides, and antibiotic synergy in disease models.
