Life Course Immunity Meeting

Following up on a recent meeting on vaccination held at Princeton, with the support of OPR, researchers from the JHBSPH and Princeton met to discuss measures of immunity across the life course, and opportunities and challenges for strengthening public health interventions around this theme. The discussion ranged from detailed issues of measurement and interpretation of individual immune profiles (from infections range from measles to malaria to cholera), to the theoretical consequences of landscapes of immunity for optimizing interventions, particularly vaccination, and understanding pathogen emergence.
