Namal P. M. Liyanage's research focuses on understanding immune responses during infections such as HIV/SIV and studying vaccine candidates aimed at preventing or reducing the risk of these infections in preclinical animal models. Work spans immune cell dynamics in tissues, vaccine adjuvant effects, and antibody responses, primarily using non-human primate models of HIV (SIV/SHIV). The lab also studies related topics such as immune cell depletion strategies and, in some studies, viral spillover between animals and humans.
