Jordi B. Torrelles studies infectious diseases, with a strong focus on tuberculosis (TB) diagnosis, drug resistance, and host immune responses, as well as respiratory viral infections such as COVID-19 and influenza. Recent work spans developing low-cost diagnostic tests for drug-resistant TB, evaluating TB and HIV in resource-limited and conflict-affected settings, and studying how viral infections and vaccines affect airway tissue and immune protection. This research combines laboratory studies (e.g., cell and organoid models) with epidemiological analyses conducted in global settings including Nigeria and the Democratic Republic of Congo.
