Åshild Rønningstad
About
PhD Candidate at the Molecular Mechanisms of Mycobacterial and Viral Infections (MYCOVIR) research group at the Centre of Molecular Inflammation research (CEMIR).
In my master thesis, "The role of the innate immune sensor STING in T cells", I studied the function of Stimulator of interferon genes (STING) in T cells, and how activation of STING can affect the T cell function during an infection. I will continue this work as a PhD candidate as I have reciveved research funding from Samarbeidsorganet, Helse Midt-Norge, for the project: "Lymphopenia in severe viral lower respiratory tract infections: The innate immune receptor STING as therapeutic target?".
