Our research focus in RESIST is the development of alternative therapies targeting infections of the lower respiratory tract. In our research, we aim to combine stem cell research and blood cell farming with infection research to open new avenues towards anti-bacterial therapies. The laboratory has unique expertise in the generation of hematopoietic cells from different sources of stem cells, which will be provided to all members of RESIST to study e.g host-pathogen interaction or the development of novel drugs\/small molecules by screening libraries.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Drugs, such as antibiotics, are the backbone in antibacterial therapies. However, the increasing numbers of antibiotic-resistant bacteria and therapy failures highlight the need for alternative approaches. Our team builds on long-standing expertise in regenerative medicine and research on macrophages to provide new insights into the protective role of macrophages against various pathogens in the airways. Together with other RESIST scientists, we are going to explore the impact of macrophages on the onset and progression of infections of the lower respiratory tract with direct implications for the development of novel therapies for various groups of patients.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>
