In CF patients\, clinical observations link the acquisition of chronic Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection with seasonal res piratory virus infections (notably\, respiratory syncytial virus (RSV)\, r hinovirus and influenza A). Our research aims to improve our understanding of the mechanisms by which respiratory viral infections alter host immuni ty to support chronic bacterial infections\, with the long-term goal of id entifying new therapeutic targets to prevent chronic P. aeruginosa infecti ons in the CF respiratory tract.\n\n \n\nThis seminar will be given online via Zoom.
