Prasida Holla studies how the human immune system's B cells respond to infection and vaccination, with a focus on how these cells recognize antigens (foreign molecules) and how they change during chronic diseases such as malaria and HIV. The work examines 'atypical' and memory B cells, how B cells sort themselves by the strength with which they bind a target, and what these processes mean for vaccine design. Some earlier work also explored viral entry factors and vaccine delivery platforms.
Publication activity has been intermittent over the past decade, with quiet years (2020, 2023) alternating with more productive years (four papers in both 2021 and 2024), averaging about 1.4 papers per year over the last five years.
