- Leukocyte biology: functional studies on human leukocytes with a particular interest in “innate lymphocytes” (natural killer cells, CD1-restricted T cells and gamma delta T cells) and dendritic cells.
- Immunology of the human liver: examination of the healthy liver as a specialised organ of the immune system and investigation of immune mechanisms that contribute to pathologies associated with hepatitis B, hepatitis C, hepatic malignancies and autoimmune liver diseases
- Immunology and genetics of human disease: including rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, cystic fibrosis, alpha-1-antitrypsin deficiency, primary antiphospholipid syndrome and schizophrenia
- Teaching: course design, delivery and assessment of undergraduate level immunology, biochemistry, physiology, genetics and cell biology, co-director of an MSc programme in Immunology and Global Health at NUI Maynooth, research supervisor and examiner at BSc, MSc, PhD and MD levels, author of textbook chapters.
