Scientific Focus
Research Interests
My research interests include development and implementation of rapid diagnostic assays for the detection, identification, and susceptibility testing of clinically important mycobacteria. Furthermore, I am interested in understanding the role of M. tuberculosis lipoproteins and lipoprotein processing in the pathogenesis of tuberculosis.
