Subject Area:
Our lab works on viral pathogens of animal and human health importance, including influenza and SARS-CoV-2. Our research focuses on understanding the effect of host-associated factors, including age, biological sex, preexisting immunity, and different comorbidities on viral pathogenesis and immune responses to vaccines. We are also interested in the development of safe, effective and optimized mucosal vaccines against animal and human viral pathogens.
