Research Focus: Cellular immunology with emphasis on age-related immune dysregulation, innate immunity, and human translational studies of viral infections (West Nile, Dengue, Zika, SARS-CoV-2). Key methodologies include single-cell mass cytometry and multi-omics profiling.
Scientific Contributions: 2025 AAAS Fellow; pioneer in aging-immunity interactions; identified CD16 polymorphisms reducing severe COVID-19 risk; discovered ELF4 deficiency as a monogenic mimic of Behçet's syndrome.
Article Trends: Recent work spans age-dependent immune signatures in viral pathogenesis, multi-omics modeling of severe infections, and therapeutic immune monitoring in mepolizumab-treated populations. Collaborations span Yale Center for Research on Aging, Human and Translational Immunology Program, and Yale-BI Biomedical Data Science Fellowship.
Honors:
- Fellow, American Association for the Advancement of Science (2025)
- Member, Connecticut Academy of Science and Engineering (2020)
Key Collaborations: Frequent co-authorships with Erol Fikrig, Albert C. Shaw, Steven Kleinstein, and David Hafler across 161 publications. Faculty leadership roles in Chronic Disease Epidemiology and Public Health Data Science initiatives.
