Research Expertise

Research Interest Country of Expertise
DNA vaccine prime and recombinant fowlpoxvirus boost immunisation methods induces protective T cell immunity & has entered phase I/II clinical trial Australia, United States of America, Indonesia
Immune escape. We are studying how immune pressures result in immune escape variants and the impact this has on the fitness of the virus Australia, United States of America, Indonesia
Immune therapy. We have shown that reinfusing autologous cells coated with overlapping peptide (termed OPAL) can induce high levels of T cell immunity Australia, United States of America, Indonesia
NKT cells in pigtail macaques. We are studying the biology of NKT cells in SIV/SHIV infection and their impact upon disease progression. Australia
