Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Esther L German"
- Esther L German's recent research primarily focuses on the interactions between respiratory pathogens, particularly Streptococcus pneumoniae and SARS-CoV-2, and their effects on immune responses in various populations, including healthcare workers and infants in Malawi.
- A significant part of her work involves novel community-based sampling methods to understand respiratory pathogen prevalence and the impact of environmental factors such as air quality on pneumococcal carriage and pneumonia risk.
- German's studies emphasize the importance of participant perspectives in respiratory research and investigate the immunological implications of pathogen colonization on vaccination efficacy, particularly in relation to influenza.
