My research interests encompass molluscan immunology, comparative immunology, virology, and antiviral immunity. I am particularly interested in how molluscs recognize viral infections, coordinate immune signaling, and activate antiviral defenses. Through comparative approaches, I seek to understand the conserved and lineage-specific mechanisms underlying innate immunity in aquatic invertebrates. My research also aims to translate these insights into strategies for disease prevention and control in shellfish aquaculture.
