Center for Vaccines and Immunity
A major focus of our research is to understand how immune responses are subverted in a serious persistent virus infection of humans so that new vaccines can be developed. At the same time we are attempting to improve the success gene replacement for diseases like muscular dystrophy by preventing immunity to therapeutic proteins that might be recognized as foreign. The opposing goals of restoring immunity in one situation (persistent virus infection) and silencing it in another (gene therapy) are linked by our interest in common molecular switches that turn the human immune system on or off.
