About

Alexander Foo is an Assistant Professor at St. Francis Xavier University in Canada. His research focuses on allergen interactions and diagnostics, particularly in relation to food allergies and environmental allergens. Recent articles include investigations into the effects of cockroach allergens on pulmonary membranes, mechanisms of allergen-induced inflammation, and the development of novel bioconjugates for allergy diagnostics. He also explores the interaction of surfactants with lipid membranes and the antiviral potential of specific proteins against SARS-CoV-2.
