Profile

My group focusses on understanding the dynamics and diversity in B cell responses in health and disease. Using both murine and human B cells we try to address how B cells respond to vaccination and infection. We also utilise B cells to generate recombinant monoclonal antibodies.

Current Focus Areas

  • Vaccine response

  • Pattern recognition in B cells

  • Adjuvant biology

  • Recombinant monoclonal antibody generation
