(2019-04-15)This thesis examines how Western missionaries in colonial Korea (1910-1945) perceived disease among the Korean populace. Notably, missionaries in their accounts focused on two diseases, leprosy and tuberculosis. Building ... -
Polysequence Nanomaterials for Immunomodulation
(2021)Peptide-based vaccines have received growing interest due to their specificity and ability to limit off-target effects, and they are currently being explored toward a variety of infectious diseases and therapeutic targets. ... -
The Roles of Cellular Receptor Binding Avidity and Other Viral Phenotypes in the Antigenic Drift of Influenza
(2013)Despite high vaccination rates and effective adaptive immune responses from the part of infected individuals, influenza A viruses cause significant morbidity and mortality annually. This is due to influenza's rapid antigenic ... -
Understanding the Interplay Between Viral and Host Dynamics
(2020)The evolution of antigenically variable viruses cannot be understood without studying the interaction between viruses and the host immune system. Viral evolution is driven by their fast acquisition of genetic variation as ...
