Overview

I am a senior immunologist with more than 25 years of experience translating complex biology into validated analytical and diagnostic solutions.

My work sits at the intersection of human immunology, virology, and advanced flow cytometry, with a strong emphasis on physiologically relevant ex vivo models and cost-efficient assay design. I enjoy working where scientific rigor, technical creativity, and real-world application intersect.

What I Work On

Immune profiling and biomarker discovery in infectious disease and cancer
High-dimensional flow cytometry and flow virometry
Ex vivo human tissue and organ culture models
Translational assay development bridging research and diagnostics

Selected Impact

Contributed to the development of a nationally adopted COVID-19 serodiagnostic assay
Built and directed a deep phenotyping and multi-omics core facility supporting clinical and research programs
Developed flow virometry approaches enabling single-virus and nanoparticle analysis
Authored 110+ peer-reviewed publications and 3 patents in viral and assay technologies
Reduced assay and analytical costs by up to 90% while maintaining regulatory-grade performance
Mentored scientists across disciplines, institutions, and career stages

Recent Career Context

From 2023 to the present, I undertook a planned sabbatical to accommodate family needs while remaining scientifically active.

During this period, I continued to publish, collaborate internationally, refine analytical methodologies, and stay closely engaged with developments in immunology, flow cytometry, and translational research. This phase allowed for focus, continuity, and perspective — not disengagement.

Current Focus

I am selectively exploring senior scientist and research leadership roles where deep analytical expertise, translational thinking, and collaborative science are valued.
