Studying the local immune response to RSV infection in children

This project aims to get a better understanding of the host-pathogen interactions that are associated with severe RSV infection. These include the validation of biomarkers that can predict RSV disease severity in the clinic and the identification and characterisation of the phenotype and function of innate immune cells, specifically neutrophils and monocytes, in the local immune response against RSV. For this project, we will use patient material to perform biomarker identification and functional assays with different types of immune cells. Central to this project will be the use of transcriptomics assays, also at the single-cell level
