BME7900 Seminar: Bryan Bryson (MIT)

Engineering the host-pathogen interface

Mycobacterium tuberculosis is the leading cause of infectious disease death in the world with no licensed protective vaccine. The Bryson Lab uses a combination of systems biology, protein engineering, molecular immunology and microbiology to develop new tools and concepts that may accelerate vaccine development and new TB therapeutics.
