About the Role
Our Lab Investigates The Innate Immune And Microbial Mechanisms That Underly Control Of Infection In Pregnancy And Neonates Through Molecular, Translational, And Computational Approaches. Our Long-term Goal Is To Translate Understanding Of Host-pathogen Interactions Into Therapies That Reduce The Morbidity And Mortality Of Pre-term Birth And Neonatal Infections.
Current Projects:
- What is the impact of placental inflammation on neonatal innate immune antibacterial function in vitro and sepsis outcomes?
- How do anti-viral immune cells and neuro-inflammation impact viral control and clinical outcomes in infants with congenital cytomegalovirus infection?
- How does placental natural killer cell antimicrobial protein (granulysin) protect from infection-related pregnancy complications? (collaboration with Tamara Tilburgs)
