Biography
I am a viral immunologist aspiring to understand antigenicity, neutralization, and viral evolution. Using the influenza virus, I study relationships between viral architecture, antigenic sites, and antibody properties such as valency, flexibility, and avidity. I am exploring viral populations shaped by antibodies to reveal viral evasion strategies and identify weak spots and vaccine targets.
