October 2026

More success on the grant front with the eventual announcement of NHMRC Investigator grants – congratulations to Mai, Jen and Hyon-Xhi. Wen Shi was awarded a Cummings fellowship recently. See Doherty website articles for Cummings Fellowship and NHMRC grants. Adam and Marios have embargoed grant announcements coming up we hope!

Lara returned from a successful visit to the Ragon Institute in Boston – see Doherty website article here. Mai brought her new baby into the lab recently for our October birthday celebration morning tea – all is going well!

We have a new visiting student in the lab, Laura Dias – she is working with Jen and studying CD4+ T cells and B cells in Long Covid. Rachel, Helen and the team are busy with the Flaviflav study of Yellow fever and Japanese encephalitis vaccines – nearly fully recruited!

Our papers on mRNA vaccines in humans and our phase I trial of an anti-COVID monoclonal antibody are out – these were big efforts for our group - see our publications page.
