My primary research interests focus on Siglec-8, an inhibitory receptor expressed on eosinophils and mast cells, and how it can be targeted for clinical benefit. My primary clinical interests are in eosinophil- (and mast-cell) associated diseases, including hypereosinophilic syndrome.

Specialty

Allergy and immunology; Eosinophil biology; siglecs
