A day in the life of a college student such as Kimberly can mean deciding between spending time with her daughter or completing her studies.
Dennis Schaefer-Babajew Explores the Issue of Antibody Feedback Regulation on Adaptive Immune Responses
Dr. Schaefer-Babajew’s proposal will explore the impact of pre-existing antibodies on subsequent B cell responses. As most infections and vaccinations are serial in nature rather than a single exposure, this research is poised to have major implications for our understanding of adaptive immunity against infections and vaccine design.
