UNRAVELING HOST–PATHOGEN INTERACTIONS IN LUNG DISEASE: THE CYSTIC FIBROSIS LUNG AS AN INFLAMMATORY MICROENVIRONMENT MODEL Ghent University
In this translational research project, the airway disease cystic fibrosis (CF) will be used as a model to study host-micro-organism interactions in the lung, in a context of chronic bacterial and/or fungal exposition, and different degrees of CFTR modulation through small molecules tackling CF at its very cause. The first work package (WP) will focus on host-micro-organism interactions and inflammatory determinants in allergic ...
