The role of the pulmonary microbiome in the pathophysiology of lung disease is becoming increasingly well understood. Studies on murine models have highlighted the immunomodulatory and antibacterial activity of certain commensal bacteria, such as S. mitis, and have led to an understanding of their potential therapeutic impact. The investigators will therefore couple their analyses of the respiratory microbiome with an in-depth analysis of mucosal immunity. In particular, they will characterize immune cell types and frequencies using high-dimensional (spectral) flow cytometry and single cell RNA-sequencing. Finally, they will study the mediators exchanged between the microbiome and the host using proteomic and metabolomic analyses of respiratory fluids.
