Funding Amount $655,150.00

Full description Effective vaccination is critical for combating infectious disease. However, vaccine immune responses are highly variable between individuals and populations (e.g. lower in the elderly). New evidence suggests bacteria in our gut microbiome may be responsible. This program of work will allow us to understand how gut bacteria modulate activity of the immune system in response to vaccination. This knowledge will be crucial to both future vaccine development and improving vaccines currently in use.
