OverviewAI-generated summary
Matthew S. Kelly leads a research group focused on infectious diseases, with a particular emphasis on viral infections and the human microbiome in pediatric populations. His work has investigated host responses to SARS-CoV-2, including durable neutralizing antibody responses in children and adolescents following asymptomatic or mild infections. Kelly's research also explores the relationship between age-related changes in the nasopharyngeal microbiome and susceptibility to SARS-CoV-2. He has published on the role of non-diphtheriae Corynebacterium species in decreasing the risk of pneumococcal colonization during infancy and has evaluated the potential of Dolosigranulum pigrum as a nasal probiotic candidate.
Further research interests include the evaluation of novel vaccine candidates, such as recombinant live-attenuated respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) vaccines in children. Kelly has also examined risk factors for cytomegalovirus (CMV) viremia and associated adverse events in pediatric hematopoietic stem cell transplant recipients. His scholarship metrics include an h-index of 25, with 131 total publications and 1,986 total citations, marking him as a highly cited researcher.
