Coming from the world of physics and math, I aspire to find patterns and rules in the way our body, and particularly our immune system, is designed. I use tools from the worlds of math and physics to answer basic question in the realms of immunology and aging.
I use the well-studied mathematical tool of excitable systems to explain various pulsatile phenomena in the immune systems. I have showed that excitable systems underlie relapses in autoimmune diseases, such as Multiple Sclerosis; I am now seeking to find more pulsatile phenomena these class of systems may underlie.
I am studying the way different pathogens manifest in a diseaese space, constructed of the pathogen load, the immune response and the damage to the infected individual. I am looking at the geometrical shapes different pathogens take in this space and how do different interventions an modify it.
I use models of organisms aging to understand ovarian aging and the dynamics of fertility throught life.
