About
I am an infectious diseases physician recently joined the team here at the University of Alberta as an Assistant Professor with the Department of Medicine, Division of Infectious Diseases. My research interests lie in chronic viral hepatitis and the study of viral-host pathogenesis for this and other viruses. I use a combination of computational, biophysical and molecular virology methods to explore various viral DNA/RNA and host protein interactions to gain further understanding in viral pathogenesis and evaluate unique approaches to developing therapeutics.
