Characterization of cellular inflammatory responses underlying acute viral bronchiolitis in infants [ 2013 - 2016 ]

Research Grant

Researchers: Prof Patrick Holt (Principal investigator) ,  Dr Anthony Bosco ,  Dr Saskia Decuypere ,  Prof Peter Sly

Brief description This project seeks to characterize the inflammatory mechanisms triggered during severe respiratory virus infections that result in hospitalization of infants. These are associated with later development of asthma. We aim to identify new molecular targets for anti-inflammatory drug development, with the long term goals of improving treatment for acute disease, and prevention of subsequent asthma.
