Creating Memory: Vaccines & Immunity

We talk with Dr. Robert Seder, Chief of the Cellular Immunology Section of the Vaccine Research Center in Bethesda, MD, who studies how changing the route of vaccination can improve immunity and protection against pathogens.

We talk with Dr. Nardhy Gomez-Lopez, a professor at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, MO, who studies the immunology of pregnancy and birth to identify biomarkers that may predict adverse outcomes.

We talk with Dr. Gabriel Victora, an associate professor and HHMI investigator at The Rockefeller University in NY, NY, who studies how antibodies are generated in response to infection and immunization through the evolutionary process of affinity maturation in germinal centers.

We talk with Dr. Helen Chu, a physician and professor at the University of Washington in Seattle, WA, who studies the transmission of respiratory viruses in the community and correlates of immune protection induced by maternal vaccines against these viruses.
