This federal Project Grant award, funded by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.855), will support a multidisciplinary research program to investigate the biological and physical drivers of influenza A virus transmission in humans. The $2,074,701 award to Emory University will leverage a controlled human infection model to obtain high-resolution data on viral load dynamics, immunological responses, and infectious aerosol production during seasonal influenza infection. The research will also examine the role of aerosols in mediating influenza transmission and the relationships between host responses, viral replication, and expulsion of infectious virus. The findings from this research are expected to enable evidence-based strategies and interventions to control influenza outbreaks and pandemics.
