Abstract

Emily Rosowski works in the field of host-pathogen interactions, studying how host innate immune mechanisms control pathogens. In this mSphere of Influence article, she reflects on how "Host genotype-specific therapies can optimize the inflammatory response to mycobacterial infections" by D. M. Tobin, F. J. Roca, S. F. Oh, R. McFarland, et al. (Cell 148:434-446, 2012, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cell.2011.12.023) made an impact on her by investigating how differences in host genetics can affect modes of microbial pathogenesis and inform treatments for infectious disease.
