Research
Safety and immunogenicity of a booster dose of a 3-antigen Staphylococcus aureus vaccine (SA3Ag) in healthy adults: A randomized phase 1 studyImmune responses after the initial vaccination persisted for the 12 months studied, with little additional response after the booster dose at 6 months
Research
Impaired airway epithelial cell responses from children with asthma to rhinoviral infectionHuman rhinovirus infection delays repair and inhibits apoptotic processes in epithelial cells from non-asthmatic and asthmatic children
Research
Childhood Overweight and Obesity: Maternal and Family FactorsThe need to target prevention and intervention efforts for childhood overweight and obesity towards families with overweight parents
Research
ViPAR: A software platform for the Virtual Pooling and Analysis of Research DataViPAR is a secure, flexible and powerful analysis platform built on open source technology that is currently in use by large international consortia
Research
A molecular dynamics study of C1r and C1s dimers: Implications for the structure of the C1 complexComplement is an important part of the immune system. It is initiated through three different pathways known as the classical, lectin, and alternative pathway.
Research
Targeting the mucosal immune system in a pregnant mouse model to prevent experimental allergic airways disease in the offspringStudies in Europe show exposure of pregnant women to high levels of microbial products stimulate immune function maturation in their offspring
Research
The cellular effects of estrogen on allergic asthmaThe study aims to identify the mechanism for this so that this knowledge can be used to better treat asthma and allergies in both males and females.
Research
Mechanisms of IgE sensitizationThis project investigates how cells of the immune system respond to substances to cause allergies to help develop new treatments.
Research
Targeting the mucosal immune system in a mouse model to prevent pregnancy complications following maternal bacterial infectionThis work is the first step to develop safe treatments for pregnant mums to protect against preterm delivery and low birth weight caused by maternal infections.
Research
