This website brings together my work across immunology, infectious disease, and public health, alongside my activities in science communication and pharmaceutical consultancy.
Whether you are seeking scientific collaboration, evidence to inform policy, accessible insight into complex health issues, or specialist support for pharmaceutical strategy, I invite you to explore the areas of my work most relevant to your interests.
A first encounter with influenza can bias immune memory for decades, sometimes helping and sometimes narrowing later protection. New research is revealing how that imprint forms and why vaccine designers care.
Read the storyEurope's recent measles surge grew from accumulated gaps in routine vaccination. Falling case numbers have not removed the need for local coverage, rapid diagnosis and catch-up vaccination.
Read the storyTiming deserves attention, but it does not establish a cause. This story explains how investigators separate coincidence from a genuine vaccine safety signal.
Read the storyMessenger RNA can instruct a cell to make a protein without rewriting its chromosomes. The relevant molecular steps show what researchers have found, and what the claim still fails to demonstrate.
Read the storyEvery stage of drug development tests a different uncertainty. Follow a candidate from the laboratory through clinical trials, regulatory review, NHS appraisal and continuing safety surveillance.
Read the storyRegulators sometimes act on an earlier biological measure instead of waiting for survival data. That bargain depends on credible surrogates, explicit uncertainty and confirmatory evidence.
Read the storyEssential oils can provide scent or comfort, and a few specific formulations have narrow evidence for symptom relief. They become dangerous pseudomedicine when sellers inflate those exceptions into claims about immunity or promises to “treat” and “heal” disease, especially when the bottles replace diagnosis and effective care.
Read the storyBioresonance converts real symptoms and diagnostic uncertainty into unsupported frequency “diagnoses,” with repeat sessions that can lead to restrictive diets and more product sales. Controlled tests have not validated its central claims, while false results can waste money, worsen nutrition and delay care for genuine illness.

A profile of my path from Suceava to Oxford, the move from laboratory research into public communication, and work addressing misinformation and institutional trust.

I discussed how declining vaccination coverage, misinformation, health-system weaknesses and inconsistent medical advice contributed to Romania's measles outbreak.

I spoke to MDR Aktuell about Romania's widening measles immunity gap and why compulsion alone would not solve it. The discussion considers practical incentives for vaccination and the wider European risk.
