This project investigates how different populations of cells within the respiratory tract immune system are altered during a viral infection.
This is a strategic “pilot” project in which we are seeking basic information on the immune cell content of gestational tissues.
This study will investigate the why disease is worse in infants and how early life viral infection impacts the developing immune system.
This study will identify how the immune system contributes to neurodevelopmental outcomes and will investigate the use of an agent from traditional medicines.
We have recently published a paper identifying precursor populations in peripheral lung (2017), and have also discovered that these populations can be found in multiple tissues.
We are studying immune cells from identical twins of which one suffers and one does not suffer from allergic disease to identify specific mechanisms that may play important roles in disease development.
Studies in Europe show exposure of pregnant women to high levels of microbial products stimulate immune function maturation in their offspring
This project investigates how cells of the immune system respond to substances to cause allergies to help develop new treatments.
The study aims to identify the mechanism for this so that this knowledge can be used to better treat asthma and allergies in both males and females.
This study is designed to identify the specific unique immune cell response that occurs in these children with recurrent disease.
