Research project funded by NIAID, NIH to study host and parasite genetics affecting infection and fibrosis using advanced genetic techniques.
Description
The project aims to identify host and parasite genes that jointly determine infection success and influence fibrosis severity or suppression. The research involves genetic mapping, population genomics, experimental evolution, and gene editing techniques. The project is funded by NIH PA-20-185.
