To start this work, Syandrez performed a meta-analysis of known epitopes 🖥️ (using the fantastic resource IEDB @iedb.bsky.social) and investigated what is already known about:
- viral proteome coverage 🧫
- HLA-restriction 🧬
- conservation of epitopes across types (high and low risk) 🌴

🚨Preprint🚨: To better utilise the potential for cross-protective T cells in HPV vaccines we would like to take a rational approach to designing T-cell inducing HPV vaccines (prophylactic and therapeutic) ⚔️

We're proud to host Dr Xiuyuan Lu from Osaka University as part of the IIT & IFReC exchange programme. She comes with great skills in analysing T cell vaccination responses. We're looking forward to her upcoming talk and of course future collaboration! (2/3)

Standing room only our recent lab meeting! The group is growing fast, and lots of great science will surely come soon! (1/3)
