NIH grant awarded to University of Vermont & St. College to study how maternal viral infection and inflammation affect fetal T cell development and function, using mouse models and advanced proteogenomics.
Description
The project focuses on the impact of maternal infection and inflammation during pregnancy on fetal T cell development, specifically gamma delta T cells, using mouse models and single-cell proteogenomics workflows. The grant aims to understand mechanisms affecting fetal thymic development and long-lasting immune effects in offspring.
