    Research Overview

    I am interested in understanding issues regarding the prevention of infections, particularly in the immunocompromised. Currently, I am working on projects to improve the diagnosis of invasive fungal infections in immunocompromised patients, to optimize antiviral and antifungal prophylaxis following transplantation, and to determine the optimal utility of isolation precautions in hospitalized patients.
