Funded Activity Summary

The T cells of our immune system are critical defenders against viral infection. It is vitally important to understand what stimulates these cells so we can better target them against globally important viruses, such as HIV and influenza - infections that kill millions per year. We need to understand what genes in the T cell turns them into effective killers and which part of these viruses elicits the most effective T cell response. We can use this knowledge for vaccine development.
