The objective of this project is to characterize the gene expression of mouse lung CD8 T cells. Dr. Wang???s laboratory at University of Texas San Antonio (UTSA) will provide her bioinformatics experience and interdisciplinary expertise in the specific areas of bioinformatics. comparative genomics. and systems biology. to analyze RNA-seq data of mouse lung CD8 T cells. Her team will be involved in the large???scale analysis of genomics and transcriptomics data. and inference of of cellular pathways.

A significant challenge for in vivo genetic engineering is the transmembrane transport of relatively large genetic payloads. Larger molecules and transcription plasmids typically require viral vectors or permeabilizing agents. which can be challenging to engineer and may have deleterious systemic effects. As an alternative approach. electroporation uses ultrashort electrical pulses to transport large molecules across cell membranes. This approach is advantageous in applications such as delivery of DNA vaccines.

This proposal addresses developing advanced airway devices for use during respiratory failure and prolonged intubation to deliver therapeutics during intubation for acute respiratory distress syndrome. In a broader context. controlled therapeutic delivery from our endotracheal tube platform may serve a larger role in preventing and treating ventilator associated pneumonia. Our novel ET tube coating provides the additional potential of drug delivery. We propose to employ our existing. novel laryngotracheal models delivering therapeutics to vocal folds.

Fungal infections constitute a major threat to an ever expanding spectrum of immune- and medically-compromised patients. The opportunistic pathogenic fungi Candida spp.. Aspergillus spp. and Cryptococcus neoformans are among the most common etiologic agents of mycoses; but infections caused by other yeasts and moulds are on the rise as advances in modern medicine prolongs lives resulting in increasingly susceptible and vulnerable patients. However. fungi have recently been referred to as the ???hidden killers/the neglected epidemic???
