Projects
- Coronavirus vaccines
- New vaccines against coronaviruses including Covid-19
- Chagas Disease and Leishmaniasis Vaccine
- Development for a new therapeutic vaccine for Chagas disease. Current efforts focus on the development of two vaccine candidate antigens that will ultimately comprise the first therapeutic vaccine for Chagas disease.
- Human Hookworm Vaccine
- Development of a vaccine for the more than 700 million people suffering from hookworm in the world today. Vaccine currently in phase 1 clinical trials.
- Schistosomiasis Vaccine
- Schistosomiasis afflicts over 200 million people around the globe and is the deadliest disease among the seven most prevalent NTDs, killing an estimated 280,000 people annually.
- Multivalent Anthelmintic Vaccine Discovery
- A panhelmintic vaccine to prevent ascariasis (roundworm) and trichuris (whipworm), soil-transmitted helminths afflicting hundreds of millions of people around the world.
- Development of a novel adjuvant for vaccine sparing
- To develop a highly effective and safe protein adjuvant in a simple aqueous formulation that requires a much lower dose of antigen and that can be administered to humans to boost their immune response.
