Graduate Program: Molecular Pathology & Immunology
Dissertation: A Delicate Balance: Elucidating the Dynamics of the Immune Landscape in Response to Pulmonary Francisella tularensis Infection
Hometown: Nnewi, Nigeria
Undergraduate Institution: Sewanee, The University of the South
Research Interests: I am interested in understanding how an immune response is coordinated to respond to specific insults. Currently, my work focuses on elucidating the roles innate-like T cells, specifically MAIT and NKT cells drive, and participate in the immune response to pulmonary tularemia due to Francisella tularensis infection.
