Abstract

This project will develop a 3D model for monitoring co-infections of these two airborne pathogens, Tuberculosis and SARS-CoV-2, to better understand, at the biological level, what happens during a co-infection within the QV900 system. This model will be developed within a containment level 3 laboratory imaging suite. Once established, this model can be used for multiple immunological and drug screening studies.
