egle

Egle joined the lab in July 2023 as a research assistant investigating humoral responses to candidate malaria vaccine proteins and their components. Prior to joining the lab, Egle did her PhD at London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine under supervision of Prof Hazel Dockrell exploring long-term innate immune responses to the BCG vaccine in human adults and infants that received this vaccine, focusing on trained immunity and heterologous effects of BCG. Egle's interests include intracellular pathogens, host-pathogen interactions and vaccine immunology.
