Katherine Bline's research centers on pediatric critical illness, particularly how children's immune systems respond to severe infections like sepsis, and on the effectiveness and uptake of COVID-19 vaccines in children and pregnant women. Her work combines clinical studies of immune cells (such as myeloid-derived suppressor cells, which can dampen immune responses) in critically ill children with large-scale public health research on vaccine effectiveness and hesitancy. This research aims to improve care and outcomes for children in intensive care and inform vaccination strategies for young and pregnant populations.
Publication output has grown substantially over the last decade, rising from about 1-2 papers per year before 2021 to a sustained average of 7 papers per year in the most recent five years.
