My main interest is in the politics of immigration in Western democracies. My two key areas of research are the policies that different countries have adopted to manage the integration of immigrants, and populist anti-immigrant parties.
My lab studies lung disease in horses, cats, and dogs. We look for relationships between air pollution and the incidence of asthma. As well, we are developing more detailed ways of understanding how lung diseases arise, and finding more accurate methods for diagnosing them.
The research that we conduct in my laboratory aims to understand the causes of infertility at the gene level and pinpoint the mechanisms through which toxicants affect fertility both in humans and farm animals. Understanding how things happen will help in finding ways of overcoming it.
My research lies in the field of global environmental governance, focusing primarily on the role of cities and transnational city-networks in reducing the world's global carbon footprint.
My research focuses primarily on the genetic regulation of innate immunity in animals, with a particular focus on innate immune pattern recognition proteins.
