Research

My research is centered around the interaction between the immune system and the pathogen with a focus on developing vaccines and diagnostics. This includes:

  • Immunological studies of naturally acquired immunity
  • Identification of B and T cell antigens
  • Vaccine design using gene technology to assemble components from bacteria or viruses
  • Research in new vaccine adjuvants (adjuvants) and alternative forms of vaccination

Responsibilities

  • Director of the Department of Infectious Disease Immunology
