Joseph Bliss is interested in the weaknesses in the immune system of premature infants that lead to an increased risk of infection with the fungus, Candida albicans. In particular, he is studying how one type of immune molecule, antibodies, may be able to help the immature immune system of these infants to fight these serious infections. The goal of his studies is to develop strategies to improve the function of the babies' immune system in order to better treat or prevent these infections.
