Research Interests

My research interest is in studies to fully understand the mechanisms involved in the induction of protective immunity against a variety of microbial pathogens through vaccination and in host-microbial interactions in inflammation using animal models as well as humans. The vaccine delivery systems to be studied are biodegradable and biocompatible microspheres and liposomes, which are being tested to determine their ability to induce protective immune responses against bacterial and viral pathogens, e.g., P. gingivalis, Haemophilus influenza, and Streptococcus mutans. I am interested in molecular genetics and immunopathology of host defense, immune responses under different pathological conditions, and assessment of the effects of microbial factors and cell cycle host factors on T cells, B cells DC and NK cells. Consequently, I am also interested in how these effects influence host inflammatory responses, signaling pathways and protective immunity. I am also interested in studying how microbial pathogens activate components of both innate and adaptive immune systems and how these processes regulate disease progression. Specifically, how the Toll-like receptors, NK cells, MHC, and other molecules are involved in the induction and modulation of cellular responses to bacteria and their associated virulence factors. The ability of TLRs to differentially activate cell-signaling pathways and their role in modulating pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory gene expression and mucosal vaccine immunology are of special interest.
