DoID Adhoc Seminar
Biography – Dr Tulika Singh
Dr. Tulika Singh is an HHMI Hanna H. Gray Fellow conducting her Postdoctoral fellowship at the University of California, Berkeley with Prof. Eva Harris. Tulika studies adaptive B cell and antibody immunity against Dengue and Zika viruses, using human samples from natural infections. Her research uncovers antigen-specific memory B cell differentiation pathways, differential responsiveness of the immune repertoire in subsequent immunity based on sequences of prior infections, and the distinct IgM antibody compartments that confer early neutralization to mitigate severe disease upon infection. She will apply to faculty positions later this year and is dedicated to launching a collaborative multidisciplinary research group that advances countermeasures to infectious diseases and population-tailored vaccine strategies through an understanding of human B cell repertoires that underlie formation of neutralizing antibodies. She is outspoken on issues of global vaccine equity and pandemic prevention, and plans to grow her public outreach and global partnerships in these impact areas.
