The Immunobiology Seminar Series presents: "Germinal Center B Cell Response to Vaccination"
Presenter Details
Ali Ellebedy, PhD
Professor, Department of Pathology and Immunology
Washington University School of Medicine
Dr. Ellebedy has 16 years of experience studying murine and human B cell responses to viral infections and vaccination. Over the past ten years, he has been directly involved in the design and execution of over 20 vaccination studies in humans. The focus of his research has been on viral pathogens, including seasonal and avian influenza, Ebola, Lassa, Chikungunya, and SARS-CoV-2. His laboratory uses a combination of genetic, biochemical, and computational approaches to track B cell differentiation longitudinally in humans. More recently, they started complementing these analyses with the functional interrogation of the transcriptional determinants of vaccine-induced B cell differentiation and persistence in mouse models.
