Research Abstract

My laboratory program focuses on the molecular interactions between pneumoviruses and pulmonary epithelium. Short term goals include understanding the mechanisms of virus-induced alterations in epithelial cell gene expression. Longer term goals include developing and characterizing specific anti-viral and anti-inflammatory interventions for the treatment of viral bronchiolitis. We study these interactions in vitro, using tissue culture models, and in vivo using our rodent model of pneumovirus infection. Recently, we have also been successful in demonstrating the physiologic significance of results from our model systems in samples obtained from human infants with severe respiratory syncytial virus bronchiolitis.
