Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Lauren Purser"
Lauren Purser's recent research focuses on the immune responses to infectious diseases, particularly malaria and coronaviruses, revealing insights into antibody formation and specificity.
In studies on malaria, her work highlights that neutralizing antibodies targeting the RH5 antigen are rare and short-lived in individuals exposed to repeated malaria infections, which raises implications for vaccine efficacy.
Her research on coronaviruses identifies broadly neutralizing antibodies that target conserved regions across various betacoronaviruses, emphasizing the importance of developing universal approaches to combat potential future outbreaks.
