  • Influenza in Neonatal Populations
    Nov 21 2024

    On today’s episode, we will be talking about the influenza virus in neonatal populations.

    Dr. Jennifer Bermick is an Associate Professor of Pediatrics in Neonatology at the University of Iowa. She runs a basic science laboratory that focuses on understanding how the neonatal immune system develops under normal and inflammatory conditions. This includes the study of fetal and neonatal immune responses during chorioamnionitis and neonatal sepsis, with the goal of identifying therapies that can mitigate the morbidities and mortality associated with these conditions.

    Dr. Kevin Legge is a Pathology Endowed Professor of Pulmonary Immunology Research, Vice Chair for Research in the Department of Pathology, Professor of Microbiology and Immunology, Director, Department of Pathology Research Flow Cytometry Facility, Director, Interdisciplinary Program in Immunology at the University of Iowa, and Associate Director at the Nanovaccine Institute.

    This episode was recorded on September 23, 2024. Respiratory disease is an ever-changing topic in research and the status of infections across the US and around the world. Please see the Center for Disease Control and the US Department of Agriculture for the most up-to-date information on the status of infections and recommendations.
