INFECTIOUS DISEASES / Virology
Research Interests
Human immunology of infectious diseases, vaccine research and therapeutics.
Description of Research
The ICGEB-Emory Vaccine
This partnership provides an opportunity for students, fellows, scientists and clinicians in India, to collaborate with international experts in human immunology of infectious diseases and vaccine research in order to address complex biological questions that are pertinent to infectious diseases of public health importance in India.
With support from NIH, DBT and Indo-US Vaccine Action Program, our present focus is to understand human immunity to infectious diseases, with particular emphasis on Dengue and Chikungunya virus infections in India. We will use this knowledge for identifying novel biomarkers, therapeutics and for improving vaccine design, testing and evaluation.
The Group, while continuing to study human immunity to the dengue and chikungunya viruses, has recently contributed extensively to understanding B cell responses to SARS-CoV-2 in recovered individuals from India (Nayak K, Virology in press). The lab has also been successful in making human monoclonal antibodies specific to the receptor binding protein of SARS-CoV-2 which can be explored for improved diagnostics, as well as for therapeutic and prophylatic regimes in the future.
