Current research:
My research mainly focuses on evaluating and developing new treatments against tuberculosis (TB) and non-tuberculous mycobacterial infections. Specifically, I investigate how mycobacteria resist current treatments and aim to develop new therapies. My work includes optimizing new tuberculosis preventive treatments (TPT) for latent TB infections and characterizing new compounds and regimens against Mycobacterium tuberculosis and non-tuberculous mycobacteria from the initial discovery (hit identification and hit-to-lead optimization) to pre-clinical studies.
Projects:
- New drug therapies and drug resistance markers for the management of non-tuberculous infections
- Preclinical evaluation of new tuberculosis preventive treatments for latent tuberculosis
- Evaluation of new drugs and regimens against tuberculosis
