Principal research interests include the study of innate and adaptive immune responses to retroviral infections in animal models, and the potential use of cytokines and costimulatory molecules to modify the outcome of these immune responses. Ongoing projects include the study of the role of the costimulatory molecule CD154 (CD40 Ligand), toll-like receptors (TLR), and inhibitory/activating natural killer (NK) receptors during infection of rhesus macaques with SIV.
