Host-pathogen interactions: Leveling the inter-individual diversity of the immune system in livestock by add-on immunotherapeutics KU Leuven
With this project we aim to investigate host pathogen interactions that occur during infections of farm animals from the bench up to the farmstead. With a systems Immunology take on intra- and inter-host difference in immune response we want to develop a bio-inspired immune engineering strategy. This strategy will allow to translate the insights gained in therapeutic or prophylactic options such as vaccines, immunomodulators or drugs.
