Research Interests

Research interests include the expression and purification of recombinant viral proteins using mammalian, insect, and bacterial systems. Purification of native viral proteins for vaccine use. Development of novel assays for biosensing of microorganisms: nanostructures (rods, particles) for in-vivo detection of microorganisms; nanoparticles as delivery platforms for antimicrobial therapeutics, vaccines, and anti-tumor agents.​
