Understanding Host Tolerance to Transposable Elements
… causes DNA damage, and results in sterility. Host genomes can avoid these fitness costs of TEs either by regulating TE proliferation, or by altering gametogenesis to tolerate TE-induced DNA damage. Although TE regulation through piRNAs is studied extensively, little is known about mechanisms …

Germinal centre autoantibody responses following heart transplantation
… responses were initiated upon graft-versus-host allorecognition of recipient B cells by donor CD4 T cells transferred within the heart allograft. Rejected allografts displayed features of chronic humoral vascular rejection, with rejection mediated by long-lasting germinal centre (GC) …

Virus-host interactions in the cassava brown streak disease pathosystem
The research seeks to understand the virus-host plant interactions for cassava brown streak disease (CBSD) caused by two viruses, Cassava brown streak virus (CBSV) and Ugandan Cassava brown streak virus (UCBSV) of the genus Ipomovirus, family Potyviridae. The diversity of six CBSD isolates from the …

Behavioral ecology of juvenile brown-headed cowbirds: implications for the evolution and maintenance of avian brood parasitism
… on heterospecifics to raise parasitic offspring. Host-parasite coevolutionary arms races and the constraints associated with a non-parasitic bird transitioning to a parasite likely contribute to the rarity of this reproductive strategy (ca. 1% of species). For my dissertation, I conducted research …
