- Research Description
My research group focuses on the diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment of Lyme disease. We study the different forms of the bacteria that causes Lyme disease and the effect they have on the way the disease expresses. We also aim to develop new diagnostic tools for this disease and better understand the interactions that people diagnosed with Lyme disease have with the medical system.
