Research

In August 2020, I started working as research technician in the T cell regulation research group led by Ramon Arens. My research aims to develop synthetic peptide and DNA-based vaccines against SARS-CoV-2,  the cause of the coronavirus disease 19 (COVID-19) pandemic. I use molecular and cellular techniques in vitro and in vivo to decipher the humoral and cell-mediated immune response elicited by the vaccine.
