I am a Clinical Assistant Professor of Immunology for the Idaho WWAMI Medical Education Program affiliated with the University of Washington School of Medicine. Beyond instructing medical students in Immunology, I maintain an active research lab engaging medical and undergraduate students in clinical and translational research. My lab focuses on infant immune development and the role of the developing immune system in protection from both short and long term morbidities. I have a particular interest in the role of the developing immune system in cognitive development and the role of maternal health in these outcomes.
