Congratulations to the two researchers, Dr Matloob Husain and Dr Jo Kirman, who have been awarded funding.

Dr Husain has received $25,000 for his project “Molecular mechanisms of the influenza virus and host histone deacetylase 4 interplay”. He has discovered the role played by host histone deacetylases in influenza virus infection. The funding will contribute to continuing study towards understanding the molecular interplay between influenza virus and host histone deacetylases.

Jo Kirman has secured $20,000 funding for her project entitled “Can Innate Lymphoid cells be trained by BCK vaccination?”.
