Select from the following:
Dr. Sather studies antibody-mediated immunity and vaccine development for HIV-1 and Malaria. His laboratory is interested in understanding how vaccine- or pathogen-specific B cells are triggered, and on defining their natural history along their journey to becoming protective antibody responses. Their goal is to leverage those findings toward the development of novel immunogens and vaccine regimens to elicit protective antibody responses.
