Research project funded by NIAID to study molecular mechanisms of immune response dysregulation in Ebola virus infection, using advanced techniques to aid countermeasure development.
Description
This project aims to elucidate the molecular mechanisms underlying the dysregulated immune response to Ebola virus infection. It involves comprehensive analysis of transcriptional, posttranscriptional, and posttranslational alterations in immune cells, utilizing BSL-4 facilities, mass spectrometry, and advanced bioinformatics. The outcomes are expected to contribute to the development of effective countermeasures against Ebola virus.
