Abstract
Tuberculosis, COVID-19 and emerging respiratory infections are a continuing medical threat. At the same time, current effective anti-infective therapies are concerningly limited. This research program aims to develop novel treatments for infectious respiratory diseases by targeting the process in which infected host cells undergo fragmentation when they die. This will lead to more effective anti-infective treatments, thus relieving the rising burden of infectious diseases.
