Host - Virus interactions
Rhinovirus
We study host-virus interactions with focus on Rhinovirus as an important contributor to COPD and asthma exacerbations. We study anti-viral immunity in patient-derived materials and for example in connection to whole cigarette smoke exposure.
Host - Biofilm interactions
Biofilm
We develop epithelial co-cultures with various biofilms to study interactions and test responses to various compounds.
Host - Virus interactions
Farm Dust
Together with the group of Prof. Hermelijn Smits we investigate protective effects of farm dust exposure of the airway epithelium in the context of asthma.
Antimicrobial Peptides
Host Defense Peptides
In collaboration with external collaborators, we study the role of host defense peptides in antibiotic-resistant infections.
