Funded Activity Summary

Steroid-resistant asthma is an important clinical problem and effective therapies are urgently required. Substantial evidence links bacterial and viral respiratory infections with steroid-resistant asthma, however, how infections are associated with steroid-resistant asthma is not known. This project will investigate the role of specific immune factors, that we have identified, in infection-induced steroid-resistant asthma. Our project may identify new therapeutic targets for this severe form of asthma.
