What if we could change the immune system's mind about what it's learned to attack?
In autoimmunity, allergy, and other inflammatory conditions, I'm searching for the answer.

Efferocytosis — the clearing of dying cells — is how the body maintains peace. I believe it can be engineered to restore peace where it's been lost.
Research Focus Areas
Background
I work at the intersection of protein engineering, bioinformatics, and immunology. My research focuses on designing proteins that can induce targeted immunological tolerance through efferocytosis-mediated pathways.
Previously, I completed my Ph.D. at the University of Chicago's Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering, where I worked in Jeffrey Hubbell's lab developing novel approaches to antigen-specific immune modulation.
