Research projects
Nine projects and teams were created with complementary expertise. Each team will investigate a fundamental question related to the bidirectional relationship between metabolic/endocrine and infectious diseases.
- Adrenal susceptibility to viral and bacterial infection
- Bacterial control of cell death metabolism and inflammasome activation
- Regulation of adipogenesis and adipocyte fate by inflammatory signalling
- Virome in T1D and viral infiltration of pancreatic islets
- Gut infection modulating glucose metabolism
- Glucocorticoids; hub between infection-susceptibility and inflammation-treatment
- Host-microbial crosstalk along the gut-liver axis in metabolic disease
- Dietary interventions in prevention of infectious diseases
- Metabolic and immunologic influences of post-acute infection syndromes (PAISs)
