Currently I am at the Institute for Glycomics at Griffith University where I am examining the pathology and glycobiology of infection with emerging mosquito-borne viruses such as chikungunya virus (CHIKV), dengue virus and Ross River virus (RRV). The ultimate goal being to limit virus dissemination within the mosquito host and prevent disease transmission and spread.
