Creating Memory: Vaccines & Immunity

We talk with Dr. Mark Painter, a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Pennsylvania Perelman School of Medicine, PA, who studies the role of T cells following respiratory virus infection or vaccination as well as in immune memory, cancer, aging and autoimmunity.

We talk with Dr. Bernadeta Dadonaite, a research associate  at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center, WA, who studies interactions between the influenza attachment protein hemagglutinin and its newly identified receptor protein, MHC-II.

We talk with Dr. Julianna Han, a senior staff scientist at the Scripps Research institute, CA, who studies antibody-epitope interactions following human influenza virus infection and vaccination to inform the development of novel influenza immunogens and antibody therapeutics. 

We talk with Dr. Daniel Malouli, an assistant professor at the Vaccine and Gene Therapy Institute at the Oregon Health and Science University, OR, who studies how virus-host interactions modulate CMV infection and pathogenesis as well as determine the safety and efficacy of CMV-based vaccine vectors.  

We talk with Dr. Sumanta Naik, a staff scientist in the Department of Molecular Microbiology at Washington University School of Medicine, who is investigating the role of IRGM1 in type I interferon and B cell responses following vaccination and tuberculosis infection.
