Scientific Focus
Research Interests
We are interested in improving current influenza vaccines through the use of novel vaccine adjuvants - compounds that boost the immune response to vaccination. An ideal influenza vaccine would lead to durable immunity that would be broadly protective against circulating influenza strains as well as new, emerging strains.
