We are hiring a Lab Manager for our group. Join us to study how well vaccines work against COVID-19, flu, and RSV, and how the pandemic has changed the immune landscape.

A great opportunity to be part of the science on community respiratory viruses.

Insightful piece by @HelenBranswell on the development of two new products to prevent RSV in infants - a maternal vaccine and a long-acting monoclonal antibody, and where we go from here. statnews.com/2023/05/24/wel… via @statnews
