Research project studying innate immune responses to rhinovirus in allergic asthma to understand differences in asthmatics and guide therapies to prevent asthma exacerbations.
Description
This research evaluates clinical and lung function data along with samples from the upper airway of young allergic asthmatics and healthy individuals during experimental rhinovirus (RV) infection. The goal is to decipher how early innate immune responses differ in asthmatics and to guide future therapies to prevent or mitigate asthma exacerbations caused by RV.
