Description
This project involves studying the ontogeny, maturation, and plasticity of protective memory B cell responses in multiple virus models including Dengue, Zika, hepatitis C, HIV-1, and influenza. The aim is to develop biologics and small molecules against relevant human pathogens. The project also investigates antigenic sin, antibody-dependent enhancement, and the development of IgM-derived biologics. The research falls under scientific and technical consulting and life sciences R&D.
