Research Assistant Professor
Institute for Social Research
I am a social and infectious disease epidemiologist at the Institute for Social Research. My research agenda bridges the biological and the social in an effort to elucidate the mechanisms through which the social environment impacts an individual’s biology. Specifically, I focus on herpesvirus infections and T cell immunosenescence to understand how the social environment impacts aging processes in the immune compartment.
Projects:
Viral burden and T cell immunosenescence
