Host-Microbe Interactions in Airway Disease: toward Disease Mechanisms and Novel Therapeutic Strategies

ABSTRACT Despite growing efforts to understand the role of the microbiota in airway disease, mechanisms that link microbial community dysbiosis to chronic inflammation remain elusive. Our laboratory is interested in how altered microbiota composition or function influences airway inflammatory diseas...
