#MichelsonPrizes : Next Generation Grants Recipient Dr. Claire Otero is bringing hope to complex diseases. “Cytomegalovirus is very understudied given that some 50-80% of people will acquire it at some point in their lives. I am motivated by the big-picture impact of the research

“I saw a chance to study how these artificial, high-quality antibodies would affect the immune system once the trial participants encountered COVID antigens for the first time,” says #MichelsonPrizes : Next Generation Grants recipient Dr. Schaefer-Babajew. “Without the Covid

“I personally think understanding how vaccines work in the context of the human immune system is the most exciting field in immunology today and will pave the path for designing efficient countermeasures against microbial pathogens.” — Dr. Siyuan Ding, Washington University in St. Louis, #MichelsonPrizes :

Cytomegalovirus is a common disease that can prove deadly for those with weakened immune systems. #MichelsonPrizes : Next Generation Grants recipient, Dr. Claire Otero, is designing a vaccine to better protect against congenital CMV. Learn more:
