Masters Student, Rotation, Dept. of Plant Pathology August 2005 — December 2005 Cornell University, Ithaca, NY Principal Investigator: Dr. Rose Loria This research program investigates the molecular genetics and evolution of plant pathogenicity in Gram - positive bacteria and
host responses to infection by these pathogens.
Mouse models have provided key findings on pathogen infectivity and host responses to infection [21 — 25].
A genomic approach based on analysis of
the host response to infection has been investigated as an alternative.
PET / SPECT imaging modalities provide a new opportunity to study in real - time the pathophysiology of pathogen infection, resulting from pathogen replication, dissemination, and
the host response to infection.
We seek a better understanding of how the mammalian cell resists viral infections and how the virus antagonizes
the host response to infection.
These proteins affect
the host response to infections, but Dr. Ting and others have shown that they also impact cancer, metabolic diseases, and autoimmune disorders, including asthma.
No matter what we're doing to that, in the event that it is an infection or sepsis (
a host response to your infection), you're getting antibiotics, fluids, and other medicines that will all change your intestinal microbiome.
