Our laboratory focuses on vaccine and diagnostic development, with an emphasis on antigen discovery and the nature of specific immune responses to infection with macrophage pathogens. The emphasis is on tuberculosis, leishmaniasis, and leprosy. Another area of focus is on adjuvant discovery and development, including formulation. The basic laboratory studies are complemented by a strong emphasis on clinical studies, with clinical trials ongoing in several developing countries.
