Biography

Lauren is investigating the diversity and evolution of enterovirus A71 (EV-A71) T-cell epitopes throughout the natural history of the virus to assess the role that T-cell immune escape has played in its evolutionary trajectory. By advancing our understanding of the identity, evolutionary trajectory, and evolvability of EV-A71 T-cell epitopes, Lauren hopes to provide insights that will inform the future development of sustainable enterovirus A vaccines.
