We study how the host adaptive immune response coevolves with pathogens, especially in ways relevant to epidemiological and evolutionary forecasting, vaccine design, and pathogen diversity. Our work is computational, and we collaborate closely with immunologists and epidemiologists.
Congratulations to Graham Northrup who has recently been awarded an F32, and will begin his study of individual variation in influenza vaccine responses across study populations in November 2026.
