NIH-funded research project studying congenital CMV infection and CNS immune mechanisms using a mouse model to understand neurodevelopmental disorders and develop protective strategies.
Description
This is a research project funded by NIH focusing on intrauterine infection of the fetus with human cytomegalovirus (CMV). The project involves developing a mouse model to study mechanisms of CNS infection and immune response, with the goal of understanding neurodevelopmental disorders and identifying strategies to limit long-term sequelae.
