28 April 2026 - Online Webinar, 4pm–5pm CEST
Hosted by Leyla Kragten and featured guest speaker Erik Abner
Topic: The genetic basis of virus infection-induced asthma.
How can we understand why RSV leads to more severe or longer-lasting consequences in some people than in others?
In this webinar, we will explore how large biobanks integrate retrospective medical records, genetic data, and stored blood samples to:
• Study host susceptibility to pathogens
• Identify biological pathways involved in infection response
• Understand how these mechanisms may contribute to chronic lung disease
