Specializations

Infectious Diseases & Immunology

The investigator concentrates on infections caused by Mycobacterium avium complex, viral pathogens such as COVID-19, and opportunistic fungal organisms in immunocompromised hosts.

  • Mycobacterial lung infection
  • Severe acute respiratory syndrome
  • Clostridioides difficile
  • Invasive candidiasis
  • CMV infection in transplant recipients

Research emphasizes pathogen‑specific therapeutic strategies and host immune modulation.

Oncology & Hematologic Malignancies

Focused on a broad spectrum of solid tumours and blood cancers, including non‑small cell lung cancer, breast carcinoma, and hematologic entities such as acute myeloid leukemia.

  • NSCLC with KRAS G12C mutation
  • HER2‑positive breast cancer
  • Multiple myeloma
  • Diffuse large B‑cell lymphoma
  • Metastatic melanoma

Efforts target novel targeted agents, immunotherapies, and combination regimens.

Autoimmune & Inflammatory Disorders

The investigator’s work includes systemic autoimmune conditions such as systemic lupus erythematosus, rheumatoid arthritis, and skin inflammation like atopic dermatitis.

  • Lupus nephritis
  • Active idiopathic inflammatory myopathies
  • Moderate‑to‑severe atopic dermatitis
  • Autoimmune cytopenias
  • Psoriatic arthritis

Research aims to modulate dysregulated immune pathways and improve disease control.

Cardiovascular & Metabolic Medicine

Key interests involve cardiovascular risk reduction and metabolic disease management, including acute myocardial infarction, heart failure, and type 2 diabetes mellitus.

  • Acute coronary syndrome
  • Heart failure with reduced ejection fraction
  • Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease
  • Obesity‑related metabolic dysfunction
  • Non‑alcoholic steatohepatitis

Studies explore anti‑inflammatory and metabolic‑targeted therapies to mitigate organ damage.

Transplantation & Graft‑Versus‑Host Complications

Specialized in complications arising from hematopoietic and solid‑organ transplantation, such as acute graft‑versus‑host disease and chronic immune‑mediated sequelae.

  • Acute GVHD
  • Chronic GVHD
  • Post‑transplant infections
  • Thrombotic microangiopathy after transplant
  • Immune reconstitution monitoring

Efforts focus on prophylaxis, early detection, and therapeutic mitigation of transplant‑related morbidity.
