Biography

I am passionate about viruses’ intricate infection mechanisms. In Nicola Laboratory, I study how the Herpes simplex virus fuses and enters host cells to establish infection and pathogenicity. I hope my research will help develop potential entry blockers for the HSV-1 virus. I’m a keen learner with an excellent aptitude for study, enthusiastic about new ideas, and a great team player.
