Boosting immune memory to enhance protection against flu

Karen Yeung is leading critical research to understand how our immune systems respond to influenza infection and how we might be able to leverage that knowledge to create a long-lasting, universal flu vaccine. A fourth-year PhD student in the department of immunology at the Temerty Faculty of Medicine at the University of Toronto, Yeung is one of 31 recipients of the inaugural Emerging and Pandemic Infections Consortium (EPIC) Doctoral Awards, which supports outstanding students pursuing infectious disease research.
