Graduate Students
Sam Ailsworth
My specific interests lie in understanding human immune responses to viral antigens and allergens, with the long term goal of translating this knowledge into the development of novel immunotherapeutics. Profile
Taneisha Mack
Engineering broadly protective bispecific antibodies against Chikungunya virus and Mayaro virus, in addition to evaluating the role of Fc effector function of these antibodies in these infections. Profile
