About Me

I am a dedicated molecular biologist with over 25 years of experience studying human microbiomes—where our cells interact with the microbiota to influence health and well-being. My research focuses on immunology, especially microbiome immunology, using molecular biology to develop innovative therapies, including biologic drugs. I’m fortunate to have numerous scientific collaborations around the world, which allow me to travel extensively. Among my favorite destinations is the United States, where I’ve had the opportunity to visit many times. This time, I will be heading to Stanford University School of Medicine as a Fulbright grantee, where I’ll be studying the molecular determinants of microbiome immunogenicity. My research stay will begin in December 2025 and will span several months.
