      Under the mentorship of Drs Jos van Strijp and Pieter-Jan Haas, I am exploring the intestinal microbiome secretome (metagenome) to identify novel secreted proteins with anti-inflammatory properties. The main goal of this project is to identify novel therapeutics for the treatment of various chronic inflammatory disorders.

      Under the direction of Prof. David Lo, I studied the role that surface charge plays on dictating pathogen binding to the intestinal epithelium. I also developed a T cell independent vaccine using flagellin from Salmonella typhimurium as a vaccine scaffold. Finally, using a transgenic mouse model where neutrophils and M cells express DsRed protein, I studied the regulation of M cells, during colonic inflammation Under the direction of Prof. David Lo, I studied the role that surface charge plays on dictating pathogen binding to the intestinal epithelium.
