Ellen Foxman
Ellen Foxman is a prominent researcher and professor at the Yale School of Medicine, known for her innovative studies on the human nasal epithelium and its role in defending against viral infections, particularly the common cold caused by rhinoviruses. Her recent research has highlighted the importance of the body's immune responses rather than the virus itself in determining the severity of infections. By creating lab-cultivated human nasal tissue, Foxman’s work provides valuable insights into cellular responses to infections and has implications for developing new antiviral therapies.
