What if we could take our understanding of viral infections to the next level – not just by studying the virus but by looking at how it alters our metabolism? This is exactly what we will be doing in the MERIT project!
Coordinated by Dr. Adithya Sridhar and Prof. Dasja Pajkrt we will be exploring how viruses hijack host metabolism and how these changes may drive both acute disease and long-term health effects.
By combining human organoids, integrative and spatial omics, and advanced microscopy, this will take a new, more holistic approach that focuses on infections and host metabolism to unravel virus-induced metabolic reprogramming and its impact on host health.
