Research Interests

My current postdoctoral research involves molecular virology. In this context, I have utilized the human adenovirus vector as a platform for cancer therapy, imaging and vaccine schemas. In this regard, the central focus of my research is the engineering of the adenovirus to create clinically relevant vectors that also allow non-invasive imaging and monitoring of therapy.
