Research

Supervisor: Professor Arthur Kaser

My research interest lies in mucosal immunology and how environmental influences modulate a genetically susceptible host in inflammatory bowel disease. I am particularly interested in the intestinal epithelium and how derangements within this compartment (e.g. endoplasmic reticulum stress) might contribute to intestinal inflammation.
