Summary In this project, you will elucidate the underlying microbiological and/or immunological mechanisms that govern the synergistic and antagonistic relationships between pneumococci and respiratory viruses. Key approaches to this project include: working with in vitro and/or in vivo models to understand the effect of coinfection on the host and microbes, including microbiological and immunological analysis of local and systemic samples. Your project will provide novel insights into bacterial-viral interactions.
