Research
Using immunohistochemistry and in vitro approaches, my research focuses on the role of dendritic cells in shaping early and late kidney allograft inflammation, including their association with distinct morphologic patterns of allograft injury.
I am also interested in investigating the immune and inherited factors that predict glomerulonephritis in the kidney allograft.
