Impact of TB and HIV co-infection on host and microbial gene expression in the upper airway
REFNo: HS502ES

Objectives of the research project: Aim 1: Compare the differences in the microbiota and host gene expression in the upper airway of TB/HIV cases versus HIV only individuals. We will use RNA-seq to profile host gene expression and microbial abundance in TB/HIV and HIV only individuals and identify differences between these two groups.

Aim 2: Develop candidate diagnostic biomarkers for identifying TB/HIV co-infection. We will develop a preliminary nasal biomarker for differentiating TB/HIV from HIV only (controls) using host gene expression, the microbiome, or a combination.
