Research

My research interests include exploring novel strategies for assessing antimicrobial activity and detecting antimicrobial resistance in the clinical microbiology laboratory. Additionally, the development of diagnostic methods and algorithms to understand the epidemiology and improve the prognosis of patients with invasive fungal infections is an active area of research interest.
