My current research centers on understanding the interplay between the pathogen Neisseria gonorrhoeae and human macrophages. While Neisseria gonorrhoeae has been inducing infection for hundreds of years, little is known on about its interactions with macrophages. Our studies have shown that not only does this pathogen induce macrophage cell death but in a highly pro-inflammatory manner. Current studies are focused on understanding the cell death pathways responsible for Neisseria gonorrhoeae induced macrophage cell death.
