Research project funded by NIAID to study the interaction between circadian rhythm and hypoxic responses influenced by Orientia tsutsugamushi, aiming to find therapeutic targets for scrub typhus.
Description
The project explores how Orientia tsutsugamushi modulates immune responses, particularly focusing on the interplay between circadian rhythm and hypoxic responses. The project aims to understand microbial strategies for modulating host immunity and to identify potential therapeutic targets for scrub typhus.
