Research summary
Vaccination has been one of the most successful medical interventions to date. However, there are still a number of infections for which we require a vaccine solution; Malaria is a one such infection. This project seeks to understand how the immune system responds to potential Malaria vaccines to understand if there is an underlying cause associated with the poor efficacy of these vaccines.
