The ultimate goal of any vaccine is to induce effective and durable immunity that prevents an infectious agent from causing disease. The Immunobiology Team is responsible for quantifying and understanding the systemic and mucosal immune responses elicited by our vaccine candidates in a variety of different preclinical models. This includes the characterization of innate, humoral, and cellular responses with an ever-increasing repertoire of techniques, from RNA-Seq to multi-color flow cytometry.
