OverviewAI-generated summary

Bernice Nounamo's research investigates immune responses and cellular alterations in various biological contexts. Her work includes studying the cGAS-dependent type 1 interferon response and transcriptomic changes in human monocytes and macrophages when exposed to modified Myxoma virus strains. Nounamo has also examined the effects of dietary soy protein concentrates with varying isoflavone levels on serum isoflavones and inflammatory protein levels in Zucker rats, noting sex-specific immune alterations following simulated microgravity and chronic irradiation in mice. Her research also touches on the identification and characterization of platelet surface-membrane-derived microparticles before and after total-body irradiation, as well as assessing vaccine-mediated cellular immune responses in patients undergoing combined vaccine and chemotherapy treatments. Further studies involve characterizing peripheral immune correlates of tumor response in breast cancer patients immunized with a specific vaccine.
