Profile

I am a veterinary-trained researcher with a background in microbiology, immunology, and animal nutrition, focusing on gut health and disease prevention in pigs. I work at the interface of laboratory science and applied animal health, using molecular methods and modern statistical modeling. My research spans in vivo and in vitro approaches to understand host–microbe interactions, with a growing interest in high-dimensional immune profiling and cellular mechanisms.

Research

My current research targets innovative and sustainable strategies to reduce post-weaning diarrhea and support gut resilience in piglets. I investigate how interventions like probiotics, binding proteins, and UV-light modulate host–microbe interactions and immune responses. Using in vivo models, microbiological and molecular methods, I aim to understand gut barrier function and pathogen control—with growing interest in high-dimensional flow cytometry and immune profiling.
