The aim of my research program is to gain a better understanding of the quantitative features of human pathogens and immune responses.  In close collaboration with several colleagues at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center and the University of Washington, I design mathematical models that capture growth and decay kinetics of infectious organisms.  My models attempt to replicate detailed empirical datasets, and in turn, are used to inform subsequent human studies and laboratory experiments.

I am also a clinician specializing in infectious diseases with particular interests in the management of HIV infected patients and other immunocompromised hosts.
