My research interests include Pathogenesis of immune deficiency diseases, Methods of treatment of immune deficiency diseases, Immunotherapy of persistent viral and fungal infections and Mechanisms of urticaria and angioedema.

Bradykinin has been shown to be the primary mediator of acute attacks in patients with hereditary angioedema.This paper describes the safety and efficacy of a bradykinin-receptor2 antagonist in treatment of acute attacks of angioedema in these patients.
