Biography

Isabelle Jia Hui Foo is a Research Officer at the University of Melbourne's Department of Microbiology and Immunology.

She has contributed to several significant studies examining the immune responses involved in viral co-infections and the mechanisms underpinning severe outcomes from respiratory viral diseases. Foo's work seeks to define molecular gene profiles that enhance virus-specific CD8 T cell immunity. She has authored multiple journal articles that detail investigations into the timing and locations of immune responses during co-infections, which are crucial for understanding the dynamics of viral infections. Her academic contributions span topics such as the effects of prior viral infections on immune response efficacy and the intricacies of immunopathology associated with viral co-infections.
