Systems Serology focuses on the development of biological tools to determine individual antibody responses to a number of infectious diseases, such as HIV, Ebola virus, Mycobacterium tuberculosis, malaria, and SARS-CoV-2. This approached, deemed Systems Serology, allows us to understand what specific antibody features track with favorable patient outcomes as they battle infection with these diseases.
The lab develops and uses systems biology tools to define the correlates of immunity against infectious diseases that ravage the globe. To this end, we developed a novel, ever-evolving approach to probing humoral immunity that is termed ‘systems serology’. We use this novel -omics platform to profile the remarkable diversity of antibodies generated in response to pathogens or vaccines and their abilities to leverage the immune system to fight disease. Our group interrogates antibody profiles, using machine learning and other high dimensional tools to define the specific antibody profiles/features that track with favorable patient outcomes in diseases such as HIV, Ebola virus, Mycobacterium tuberculosis, malaria, and SARS-CoV-2.
