Manipulating antibody production to maximise memory in vaccine responses [ 1/1/2021 - 12/31/2024 ]

Research Grant

Brief description Our immune system provides protection from germs. The secretion of germ-specific proteins (antibodies) is an integral component of this defence and the basis of virtually all vaccines. Pandemics of Influenza and SARS-CoV-2 and failure to develop vaccines against HIV and Malaria remind us that our strategies need urgent improvement. Increasing our understanding of how our body defends us by specifically targeting foreign structures will reveal avenues for successful, rational vaccine development.
