He is the past Chair of Immunology at UCT and holder of several NIH and European-based grants. He has an active group within the IDM and is based at Stellenbosch University where he directs the Reproductive Immunology Research Consortium in Africa (RIRCA). He focuses on Immune ontogeny in HIV exposed infants, placental investigations and pre-term birth, and epithelial immunity in the foreskin. His research interests revolve around investigating immune regulation and dysregulation in the context of HIV infection or exposure.
