I study tissue resident macrophages and neuroimmune interaction in health and disease. I predominately utilize confocal imaging and transgenic mouse models to understand these interactions. Reach out if you want to collaborate. #immunology #science #confocal #hostpathogen #neuroimmune #neurobiology

How do pathogens alter neuro-epidermal communication to compromise epidermal integrity? This study shows that Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection in C. elegans induces a neuropeptide-like factor, impairing epidermal lysosomes and collagen organization.

Using in vivo single-cell transcriptomics, we show how bacterial cells, just millimetres apart, use 6S RNA to coordinate virulence and stress adaptation during epithelial barrier crossing

"the initial immune state, which often goes unmeasured in empirical studies, is a critical determinant of infection duration (and) will be highly variable among individuals, and dependent on each individual’s infection history."

'By the 1960s, tRNAs were identified in bacteriophages11, and are now known to be prevalent, particularly among virulent phages12. Using T5 phages, we showed that T5-like phages utilize their own tRNATyr to rescue themselves from retron-Eco7.'

I love this conference! Have been to every one since its inception in Oxford. Highly recommended to anyone working in #hostpathogen interactions #innateimmunity #immunology #virology #microbiology. Its particularly good for the innate peeps, who often get underrepresented in immunology conferences.🧪
Looking for an interesting conference to visit in 2026? Then check out our fantastic line up of speakers at the EMBO Workshop Pathogen Immunity & Signaling, which will be held on June 8-12 in Leiden, The Netherlands! Abstract submission deadline 1 February.
