Projects
Research
Attenuation of maternal inflammatory responses during pregnancy to promote normal immune and behavioral outcomes in the offspringThis study will identify how the immune system contributes to neurodevelopmental outcomes and will investigate the use of an agent from traditional medicines.
Research
The impact of Influenza infection during early life on immune developmentThis study will investigate the why disease is worse in infants and how early life viral infection impacts the developing immune system.
Research
Mapping changes in immune cell populations in gestational tissues over the course of pregnancyThis is a strategic “pilot” project in which we are seeking basic information on the immune cell content of gestational tissues.
Research
Long-term derangement of antigen presenting cell populations in the respiratory tract following Influenza A infectionThis project investigates how different populations of cells within the respiratory tract immune system are altered during a viral infection.
Research
Finding the cellular explanation for recurrent asthma exacerbationsThis study is designed to identify the specific unique immune cell response that occurs in these children with recurrent disease.
