Biography
Daniel Douek, M.D., Ph.D., is the Chief of the Genome Analysis Core (GAC). The GAC was established to develop and perform innovative sequencing techniques specifically targeted at immune respertoire analysis. These sequencing technologies are also being used to evaluate candidates for other vaccines, such as influenza and respiratory syncyticial virus, including those undertaken with VRC intra- and extramural collaborators.
Daniel Douek, M.D., Ph.D., is also the Chief of the Human Immunology Section (HIS). HIS studies the processes that determine the course of human diseases in which the immune system plays a central role in their pathogenesis and outcome. Our overriding philosophy is to address questions of human disease directly in humans.
