Primary research interest in better understanding host-pathogen interactions with regard to infectious agents that are considered potential bioweapons. In particular, a major goal has been to investigate the role of specific B. anthracis virulence genes in the pathophysiology of anthrax. Also involved in developing and evaluating new vaccines, therapeutics, and diagnostic tools against these various potential biothreats.
