Research project funded by NIAID to study inflammasome responses to SARS-CoV-2 to find therapeutic targets and biomarkers for COVID-19 inflammation.
Description
The project aims to understand how SARS-CoV-2 infection promotes inflammasome responses and inflammation. The research involves primary human cell culture models, murine models, and molecular biology techniques. The goal is to identify molecular targets for therapy and biomarkers for COVID-19 related inflammation.
