    Research Interest

    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.

    Research Interest

    My laboratory has two major research interests. First, to define cellular and molecular mechanisms that limit T cell responses to vaccines and pathogens during normal early postnatal development and in cases of inherited genetic immunodeficiencies. Second, to determine how these limitations in immunity can be overcome by using novel approaches for vaccine adjuvants, with a particular focus on anti-viral vaccines.
