Harnessing T cell immunity in the liver
Objectives
This project aims to develop pre-clinical studies advancing effective vaccines against malaria, including novel mRNA vaccines.
Principal Institution
Principal Investigators / Focal Persons
Rationale and Abstract
In 2021, malaria killed 619K people, largely because current vaccines are poorly effective. The vision is to characterize immunity to malaria and use this knowledge to design more effective vaccines. This work has identified previously unknown key immune cells that can fight malaria (not engaged by traditional vaccination approaches) and key parts of the parasite to attack.
