Research Interests

While my interests are broad, I generally focus on how new testing capabilities for infectious diseases can better patient care. Specific examples include how novel molecular assays allow for better management of patients with respiratory virus and how complicated algorithmic testing can be used more efficiently to render a diagnosis of HIV.
