Upcoming webinar: The genetic basis of virus-induced asthma
In our upcoming webinar, we address the question: how can we understand why RSV leads to more severe or longer-lasting consequences in some people than in others?
We will discuss how large biobanks combine retrospective medical records, genetic data, and stored blood samples to:
🔹 Study host susceptibility to pathogens
🔹 Identify biological pathways involved in infection response
🔹 Explore how these mechanisms may contribute to chronic lung disease
Rather than a traditional lecture, this webinar is designed as an open exchange of ideas. After short introductions, our speakers warmly invite you to join an engaging discussion where your perspectives are valued.
This webinar is the second episode of our 4-part webinar series, organized by our partner ReSViNET Foundation.
