Research Summary

My interests focus on the rapid detection and quantitation of viruses for clinical diagnosis and the impact of new test methods on patient management. Ongoing projects include optimization of rapid assays for respiratory viruses including SARS CoV-2 and development of real-time molecular methods for viral diagnosis.
