Andreia Costa works in Dr. Lund's lab investigating the role of regulatory T cells (Tregs) in neurotropic infections, particularly West Nile virus. The Lund lab uses both mouse models and human samples to elucidate the basic mechanisms of immunity in the context of viral infections, including genital HSV-2, influenza, West Nile virus, and HIV. The ultimate goal of their research is to improve interventions - both vaccines and therapies - for various clinically important viral infections.
