Biography
House Dust Mites (HDM) are responsible for triggering several allergic diseases such as allergic rhinitis, asthma and conjunctivitis. My research project is investigating the role of novel immunogenic RNA present in HDM and how they can modulate Th2 responses seen in HDM-induced allergy in murine models.
