Personal profile
Research interests
I am a post-doc currently working in Nicola's Harris' lab at Monash University.
My key interest resides in the function of eosinophils in both helminth infection and under homeostatic conditions. Primarily, I am researching the role of eosinophils in facilitating both tissue repair and immune cell regulation under these conditions. Eosinophillia presents itself as a key feature during helminth infection in both humans and rodents. In recent years, it is becoming more apparent that eosinophils may play a more complex role during infection, other than supporting larval killing and subsequent worm clearance (where in some instances, they may be dispensible in this role).
It will be very exciting to elucidate the other functions of eosinophils during my time at Monash.
