His lab recently designed a novel RSV vaccine approach against RSV infection and containing enhanced respiratory disease (ERD) by induction of Treg cells. This design has been led to develop the first Treg based vaccine and has demonstrated that a key role of Treg cell in contenting enhanced respiratory disease after challenged with RSV in animals.
