Goal: Characterize the pattern of contemporary and endemic ARF and develop a biological signature to improve sensitivity and specificity of ARF diagnosis.

We have recently published a paper identifying precursor populations in peripheral lung (2017), and have also discovered that these populations can be found in multiple tissues.

This study will identify how the immune system contributes to neurodevelopmental outcomes and will investigate the use of an agent from traditional medicines.

This study will investigate the why disease is worse in infants and how early life viral infection impacts the developing immune system.

This is a strategic “pilot” project in which we are seeking basic information on the immune cell content of gestational tissues.

This project investigates how different populations of cells within the respiratory tract immune system are altered during a viral infection.
