Jefferson researchers are tackling pathogens and tumors that cause significant human disease. We are developing novel approaches to protect against these diseases. We are defining novel mechanisms of pathogenesis and using this information to develop new treatments. We are exploring new questions of vaccine design and function. We are seeking to understand public attitudes towards vaccines, infections and cancer. Check out the research below to see what we are doing.
