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.
The Cobey Lab sends a fond farewell to Sang Woo (Daniel) Park, who left to begin as an Assistant Professor at Seoul National University.
