| Areas of expertise | My expertise is in the immunology of graft rejection, with particular reference to corneal transplantation. Past research has involved the study of tissue matching to improve graft survival and recurrence of ocular herpes simplex virus disease after corneal transplantation. My current research focus is on the development of improved models of corneal graft rejection, both for the study of underlying immunological processes and for the development of potential therapeutic agents. |
