Wonder how bacteria are like Ninja warriors?

Curious about how the immune system works to help your lungs fight disease?
Meet Dr Keren Turton, Medical Microbiologist
Dr. Turton is a medical microbiologist. She is studying how the immune system interacts with bacteria, especially in the lungs.
This is really interesting given all the current issues we are having with respiratory diseases like Covid and RSV.
"I study the interaction of the immune system and bacteria.
More specifically, my research focusses on macrophages and Gram-negative bacteria.
I work at Queen's University Belfast in Northern Ireland."
Check out our padlet below for more information about Dr. Keren and her work with the immune system.
Be sure to post your questions for her on our padlet below.
"Check out" this interesting human being (instead of a book).
