So excited to finally share my pre-print from my project on genetic regulation of immune homeostasis in the lungs using the Collaborative Cross mouse population! (1/5) @Heise_Lab @MTFerris @Baric_Lab biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Genetic regulation of homeostatic immune architecture in the lungs of Collaborative Cross mice

Variation in immune homeostasis, immune system stability, in organ systems such as the lungs is likely to shape the host response to infection at these exposed tissues. We evaluated immune homeosta...

We collaborated with the @Baric_Lab to link pre-infection, baseline T cell phenotypes with SARS-CoV virologic and clinical outcomes using genetically diverse mice from the Collaborative Cross - check out our pre-print: biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Baseline T cell immune phenotypes predict virologic and disease control upon SARS-CoV infection

The COVID-19 pandemic has revealed that infection with SARS-CoV-2 can result in a wide range of clinical outcomes in humans, from asymptomatic or mild disease to severe disease that can require...
