Francine C. Paim studies how viral infections such as rotavirus and porcine epidemic diarrhea virus interact with nutrition, gut microbes, and the immune system, largely using pig models that mimic human infant physiology. Much of this work examines how malnutrition or probiotic treatments (like Escherichia coli Nissle 1917) affect vaccine effectiveness and immune protection against gastrointestinal viruses in young animals, with implications for improving vaccines in malnourished human infants.
