Vaccines play an important role in promoting public health, and yet we still don’t understand how to guarantee safety and efficacy in a new vaccine. The COVID-19 pandemic has cast a strong light on this current biomedical question. Aaron Esser-Kahn’s lab focuses on studying how vaccines work at the molecular level and using that knowledge to develop new therapeutic approaches to improve the safety and efficacy of vaccination. Esser-Kahn will present work on both the fundamental molecular aspects of an innate immune response that underpin a vaccine and the manipulation of that response to improve current and future vaccines.
