Profile

Research Description

A translation research programme to explore and characterise the development of functional humoral immunity through childhood in health and disease, with a focus on characterising immune responses to pneumococcal bacteria and pneumococcal vaccines.

Research Activities

Characterising B cell development through childhood in health and disease

Characterising the immune response to infection and immunisation in healthy populations of different ages and in patients with primary and secondary immunodeficiency
