Her career has been characterized by several important research advances in immune cell migration, function and distribution in diabetogenic compartments as well in mucosal immunology. She has established a successful research program to further understand the interactions between the immune system and the gut bacteria or “microbiota” through the biosynthesis of metabolites and their impact in inflammatory and metabolic diabetes and related complications such as kidney disease. Her research has been published in more than 15 peer-reviewed articles in journals e.g. Nature Communications, European Journal of Immunology, Journal of Immunology, and Diabetes.
