Vaccine Center team finds potent antibodies against three Ebola viruses

Researchers at Vanderbilt University Medical Center and their colleagues are a step closer to developing a broadly effective antibody treatment against the three major Ebola viruses that cause lethal disease in humans.


A “public” target for HIV

Individuals produce unique sets of antibodies in response to HIV infection. That diversity — and the ability of the human immunodeficiency virus to rapidly change its protein coat to avoid detection — has stymied efforts to develop an anti-HIV vaccine.


Flu Fighter: Dr. James Crowe is leading a global effort to take the guesswork out of the flu shot

Along with the blast of arctic air that put much of the U.S. into a deep freeze at the start of 2018, the new year also ushered in one of the most widespread—and deadly—flu seasons in recent memory. Dr. James Crowe, director of the Vanderbilt Vaccine Center, hopes to solve this problem by eliminating the guesswork altogether.


VUMC joins national effort to block global pandemics of potentially lethal viruses

The U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) has signed a five-year cooperative agreement worth up to $28 million with Vanderbilt University Medical Center (VUMC) to develop methods for preventing the global spread of viruses like chikungunya and Zika.
