I'm dedicated to understand the transcriptional and posttranscriptional gene expression regulation cell metabolism.

Profile Summary

My research is focused on elucidating the signs from parasite, such as L-arginine metabolism, to regulate lncRNAs, microRNAs and mRNAs profile of macrophages to enable the establishment of parasite infection. I'm dedicate ro study the immunometabolism during interaction of pathogen and host
