Investigating prevention methods for CA-MRSA infections in children through improved hygiene and immune response analysis our team studies the clinical and molecular epidemiology of Staphylococcus aureus colonization and infection, evaluates strategies for treatment and prevention, and examines mechanisms of virulence and host immune responses. With CA-MRSA posing a major source of morbidity in pediatric populations we aim to reduce its impact by identifying effective interventions that prevent infections and improve outcomes.

Investigating microbial interactions in the female urogenital tract to improve women’s health, our lab explores how host-microbe and microbe-microbe dynamics influence vaginal health and pregnancy outcomes. With bacterial vaginosis affecting nearly 30% of women and linked to infections, infertility and adverse birth outcomes, we employ animal models, cell culture systems and clinical specimen analysis to uncover mechanisms driving these conditions. Our goal is to translate discoveries into targeted prevention and treatment strategies that enhance health for women and their babies.
