Elucidating the Role of nCB and RSV in Acute Exacerbation of Airway Inflammation

Principal Investigator

Dr. Anubama Rajan

Brief Summary of Project

This project seeks to examine the concurrent effects of nanocarbon black (nCB) exposure and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection on exacerbating airway inflammation. Through this project, we aim to understand the synergistic effects of nCB and RSV in driving acute exacerbation of airway inflammation, thereby elucidating the pathophysiological mechanisms involved in COPD exacerbation.
