Professor Katherine Kedzierska is Head of the Human T cell Laboratory in the Department of Microbiology and Immunology at the Doherty Institute. Katherine’s principal area of expertise is viral immunology, where she has made seminal contributions to understanding human immune responses towards emerging and re-emerging viral infections, including SARS-CoV-2 and pandemic, avian and seasonal influenza viruses. Her research focuses on identifying cross-strain protective T cell responses capable of mediating universal immunity to distinct viral variants, with the aim of designing broadly cross-reactive vaccines that do not need regular reformulation.
