My long-term aim is to investigate aspects of the biology of pathogenic parasites that impact the health of animals and humans, and plan to pursue this aim while teaching graduate students.

Globalization, the exceptional sign of our century, created interwoven links between scientists and researchers across colleges, universities, countries, and the globe, and drove them into competitive and collaborative interactions. With my multicultural and multilingual background I aim to teach in different countries, fighting for a common good.
