As part of her PhD, she is now focusing on the impact of eosinophil degranulation and the interaction with the airway epithelium in severe asthma. As part of the long collaboration between Professor Celeste Porsbjerg and Dr. Manali Mukherjee, Nanna has come to St. Joseph’s to learn about air-liquid-interface culture and scanning electron microscopy, among others.
