My interests include infections in immunocompromised hosts and I help run the Pediatric Transplant ID clinical service. At Duke, these populations include pediatric solid organ transplant recipients, bone marrow transplant recipients, and Oncology patients. My personal research includes EBV infection and post-transplant lymphoprolifeartive disease (PTLD), as well as vaccine responses in the immunocompromised host populations. I am also involved in studies evaluating invasive fungal infections and pharmacokinetics of antifungal medications.
