Alan Aderem is a pioneer in the field of systems biology. The Aderem Lab is focused on deciphering the role played by the innate immune response to HIV vaccination on the subsequent development of protective immunity. Systems biology approaches are also used to evaluate vaccine candidates against HIV, Mtb and plasmodium. The Aderem Lab is also studying the host response to the influenza virus. Specifically, the lab’s research is focused on identifying mechanisms by which highly-pathogenic viruses can evade and often dysregulate the innate immune system.
His research focus is the innate immune system, the body’s first line of defense.
