Our lab studies the pathogenesis of respiratory viral infections in depth, with particular emphasis on Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV). RSV infection is the leading cause of hospitalization in infants in the US, however therapeutic options are limited and no vaccine is yet available to prevent the infection. To gain insight in to the pathogenesis of the disease we have developed a global, multidisciplinary approach, performing studies in the mouse model of RSV and in children with respiratory viral infections. In parallel, we perform detailed studies on the virus itself and we are characterizing the host differences in disease severity applying microarray analysis. Gene expression analyses has allowed us to better understand the mechanisms of the disease, but also to assess disease severity, responses to therapy and eventually predict outcomes in children with RSV, influenza or rhinovirus infections among others.
