Both Borrelia burgdorferi and Bartonella species arevector-transmitted pathogens which cause diseases that are difficult to diagnose and cure. While Lyme disease is well recognized as a public health problem, Bartonellosis is underappreciated. Our laboratory utilizes both culture and animal model systems to test candidate therapeutics targeting these pathogens. Both traditional antibiotics and novel small molecules are currently being assessed for their ability to eradicatethe pathogens.

The dynamic variation in Gamma Delta (γδ) T cells impacts the initiation, progression and prognosis of infectious diseases, including those caused by viral infections in mucosal tissues. Deeper understanding of their diverse immune functions through in vivo studies in nonhuman primate models of infectious diseases could enable the design of novel γδ T cell-based therapies. Toward this, we are studying the effector functions of γδ T cells in the context of chronic HIV infection and early SARS-CoV-2 infection.
