The purpose of this research program is to generate data regarding the ways that the cells and fluids found within the nose, mouth, and airways of children from diverse backgrounds function and interact. This program will generate single-cell level data and "maps" of these cells at the tissue level using a variety of genetic and imaging techniques. These data will then be made available to the larger scientific community who will be able to use the data to better understand the normal functioning of these cells and tissues in healthy children and then further investigate cellular and tissue function in various diseases
