We are deeply involved in antiviral immune research, primarily studying zoonotic influenza viruses and how co-morbidities affect infection severity and vaccination responses. Translational research is applied to explore innate immune mechanisms and inflammation during respiratory infections and in conditions like metabolic syndrome, bone inflammation, necrotizing enterocolitis, and traumatic injuries. We perform research that facilitates discovery of new biomarkers for cost efficient diagnostics, and pinpoints targets for future development of therapeutics for respiratory diseases.
