RabiBoost: Restoring suppressed immune pathways as a novel post-exposure treatment for rabies virus (RABV).
Project summary
RABV suppresses the immune system and reaches the brain unnoticed. At this stage no treatment options are available, and all rabies patients (59,000/year worldwide), die. I aim to understand how RABV suppresses the immune system, and use this knowledge to test novel treatments that restore and enhance the immune response.
