Asunción Mejías studies respiratory infections in children, with a strong focus on respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), pneumonia, and related viral illnesses. Her work combines clinical studies (risk factors, disease severity, prevention strategies like antibody therapies) with laboratory approaches such as immune profiling and gene expression analysis to understand why infants respond differently to these infections. Prospective students would be exposed to both patient-oriented clinical research and molecular/immunological lab techniques.
