We use both tissue culture and in vivo infection models to explore the impact of respiratory tract commensal and pathogenic bacteria on susceptibility to inflammation and secondary infection. Current projects are focused on how specific respiratory tract commensal bacteria improve defense against lung infection, and how viral co-infection causes long-term perturbations in immune defense to bacterial infections in the middle ear (otitis media).Dr. Orlov is a new Instructor whose research focuses on how antibiotics alter the gut microbiome, ultimately impairing defense against subsequent lung infections. Dr. Orlov is currently investigating dietary modifications as an intervention to improve lung infection defense after antibiotic treatment.The PRA will be responsible for planning and executing experiments under the direction of Dr. Clark and Dr. Orlov. The individual hired for this position will be expected to perform experiments, analyze and organize their data, and perform laboratory administrative duties.
