Research Interests
Dr. Divangahi's research focuses on investigating the cellular and molecular mechanisms involved in cross-talk between innate and adaptive immunity to major pulmonary infectious diseases such as influenza and tuberculosis. He believes that understanding the different arms of immunity are essential for the future development of an effective therapy or vaccine.
