Her research is focused on the characterization of mosquito salivary proteins as markers for disease risk and transmission dynamics. She is also looking at the interactions between immunodominant salivary proteins and vertebrate skin cells (Fibroblast, mast cells, and dendritic cells) to characterize their role in disease progression and pathogenesis. Dr. Londoño has a strong background in human immunology and microbiology and has published more than 45 peer-reviewed articles in journals, including Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS) and PLOS Pathogens and Frontiers of Immunology in topics regarding tropical medicine and vector-borne diseases.
