IMCI Seminar Series – Spring 2023

Join us at 12:00 p.m. for coffee and treats before the presentation. “Outsmarting pathogens with protein engineering: Lessons from pertussis, cytomegalovirus and coronavirus” There is growing interest in development of antibodies to provide instant immunity that protects susceptible individuals against infectious diseases, especially pathogens for which no vaccine is yet available. However, many of these…

Standards of Evidence Working Group

Standards of Evidence Working Group

Working Group Leader: Bert Baumgaertner Group Members: Florian Justwan, Kendal Mitton, Chenangnon Tovissode Originated: January 2023 Description: This working group uses both modeling and empirical investigations to understand the role that evidentiary standards play when individuals evaluate claims. We are interested in the systematic ways standards of evidence differ across various types of claims (e.g….

Title: Synergistic mutations allow for antibody resistance in respiratory syncytial virus Project Team: Tanya Miura, Jonathan Barnes Start Date: June 2022 This project was initially funded by the NSF EPSCoR Track II Geno-Pheno Grant to use molecular modeling to predict antibody escape variants of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV). In that work, we identified five novel…
