Ruminant immunology; Adjuvant development; Vaccine efficacy testing
Real name:
Research is currently focusing on translational aspects of ruminant immunology including vaccine development (antigen discovery and adjuvant development) and testing, and identification of immune traits associated with resistance to disease. Notable successes include the development of efficacious recombinant subunit vaccines for use in ruminant species (Escherichia coli O157:H7 in cattle and Teladorsagia circumcincta in sheep). I am currently involved in the development of vaccine adjuvant technology for use in ruminant species based on synergistic combinations of Pattern-recognition receptor ligands.
