I use structural biology to understand the immune evasion mechanisms of the HIV-1 virus. My research also involves developing therapeutics aimed at eradicating HIV infections and curing the disease.

My research focuses on the genetic causes of developmental disabilities in children, including: autism, intellectual disability, epilepsy, cerebral palsy, and motor speech disorders. We now use genome sequencing on young children or newborns to identify these rare genetic disease as early as possible to initiate optimal treatment and prevention of co-occurring conditions.
