Jay Kolls, Medicine - CTRII - Center For Translational Research in Infection and Inflammation
This project uses a novel form of tissue culture to study the early events in pneumonia such as pathogen adherence and growth in the lung. This system can be used to study the role of lung and blood macrophages in pathogen killing as well as be used to test novel antibiotics and immune-based therapies.
The student will learn tissue culture, microscopy, and gene expression by using real-time PCR or RNA sequencing.
