Research

My research focus on understanding the adaptive immune response to flavivirus
vaccination and infection in humans, with specific interest in T-cell
mediated immunity.
The flaviviruses are an increasingly important family of viral pathogens
responsible for worldwide cause of human disease and mortality, and our goal
with our research in the group is to improve current global vaccine
strategies against this family of viruses.
