Portrait of Cherrelle Dacon, Ph.D.

Biography

Cherrelle’s work in the Antibody Biology Unit centers on the discovery and characterization of human monoclonal antibodies. Her current research focuses are (I) the identification of novel mAb targets on P. falciparum sporozoites and (II) the characterization of broadly neutralizing antibodies against infectious viruses. Ultimately, this work will guide immunogen design and the development of novel mAb therapies.
