Research project funded by NIH to study cellular mechanisms of infection in cystic fibrosis, focusing on microtubule dynamics and carbonic anhydrase roles, with goals to develop new therapies and support investigator career development.
Description
This project investigates how impaired microtubule dynamics and reduced carbonic anhydrase expression contribute to increased bacterial adhesion in cystic fibrosis, aiming to identify novel therapeutic targets to improve infection control.
