Simon Babayan
Background & Research interests:
Immunoparasitologist
, with main background on
protective immunity
and vaccine development against parasitic nematodes. Study system: laboratory mice.
More recently,
Wild Immunology
– how natural variation (in resource availability, coinfection, demographics) affects the ability of hosts to generate protective immune responses:
fundamental
understanding of how immune system integrates diverse and complex inputs;
analytical approaches
to identify best predictors of protective immunity; ‘nature-proofing’
medical interventions
.
Aims for this workshop:
learn about
bTB
current research, its transmission, and potentially unmet needs for diagnosis and prevention.
Consolidate and expand collaborations.
