Robert A. Seder, Chief, Cellular Immunology Section, Vaccine Research Center, NIAID, NIH
"The culture at NIAID is wonderful for scientific rigor and expertise across a wide range of areas. The most important feature of the Vaccine Research Center are the people. Most of the PI’s have been together for 20 years and there is an extraordinary culture of collaboration amongst all the people at the VRC. The VRC is an outstanding environment for scientific discovery, which can then lead to rapid product development and clinical testing. This extraordinary process can lead to approved vaccines and monoclonal antibodies for several important infections (SARS-CoV-2, RSV, Ebola) and potentially against flu, malaria, and others."
