- Description of Research:
-
My research interests include the study of vaccine-preventable diseases and viral respiratory diseases in young children and immunocompromised hosts, including transplant recipients, as well as the evaluation of antiviral therapy for the prevention and treatment of viral diseases.
As a Clinical Associate of Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, I am active in many transplant-related protocols in the prevention and treatment of disease in the immunocompromised host. As a member of the NIH-sponsored Seattle Vaccine Treatment and Evaluation Unit, I am involved in research with new vaccines and maternal immunization with Tdap and influenza vaccines.
My research group is active in studying influenza virus vaccines in diverse populations, including infants, school-age children in the schools, and pregnant women.
