Research summary

Alain Bopda Waffo studies how the immune system responds to infectious diseases such as HIV, malaria, and COVID-19, with particular emphasis on developing tools to display disease proteins on the surface of a virus-like particle (the RNA phage Qβ) for use in vaccines and antibody detection. The research also examines how co-infections (for example HIV together with malaria or parasitic worms) affect immune cells and antibody production. Additional work extends this phage-based technology to biotechnology and agricultural applications.
