I am a Ph.D. candidate in the Biological Sciences: Molecular and Cellular Biology program researching the airway epithelium, which is the first line of defense against pathogens from the external environment. I have a broad interest in host-virus interactions, and I am currently working to understand physical barriers to infection in the respiratory tract, and the strategies viruses use to overcome those barriers.
