Cornelia Blume is a lecturer at the University of Southampton with expertise in Functional Genomics. Her research primarily focuses on understanding the complex interactions at the epithelial barrier in response to environmental challenges, including pollen, viruses, and bacteria. Dr. Blume utilizes advanced three-dimensional in vitro models of respiratory mucosa to study cellular crosstalk and inflammation. Her multidisciplinary approach integrates traditional -omics techniques with tissue engineering. Recent projects include the investigation of lipid membrane profiles affecting epithelial barrier function and exploring a novel short isoform of Angiotensin Converting Enzyme 2 (ACE2) in the context of SARS-CoV-2. She has received accolades for her work, including the Iain Cameron Postdoctoral Research Prize and the Distinguished Poster Award.
