Funded Activity Summary

Highly pathogenic influenza A virus (IAV) infections in humans are associated with high mortality rates. This project will provide global and fundamental insights into our understanding of why IAV often cause fatal disease. It will advance knowledge of the mechanisms by which the host and virus interact and elucidate how the host's immune system responds to the infection and modulates disease, to facilitate the development of improved treatments for severe IAV infections.
