Homer L. Twigg studies how the lungs and the immune system interact in people with compromised immunity, especially those living with HIV, and how respiratory infections like COVID-19 affect the lung. Much of the work uses bronchoalveolar lavage (fluid washed from the lungs) to examine immune cells, extracellular vesicles, and the lung microbiome (the community of microbes living in the airways). Studies also cover lung fibrosis, transplantation, and computational methods for analyzing microbiome data.
Publication activity has been fairly steady over the past decade, averaging around four to five papers per year in recent years, with a brief dip around 2021.
