Research summary
AI-generated

Purnima Dubey's research focuses on two main areas: how the immune system responds to the bacterium Bordetella pertussis (which causes whooping cough), including identifying pieces of the bacteria (epitopes) that could be used in vaccines, and how immune cells like T cells can be harnessed to fight prostate cancer, particularly in combination with hormone-based treatments like castration. Much of the cancer work uses mouse models to study how immune cells called CD8+ T cells and regulatory T cells interact with tumors after treatment. This work sits at the intersection of vaccine development and cancer immunotherapy.

Publication output was modest and fairly steady from 2017-2022 (1-5 per year) but rose sharply in 2023-2024 (24 papers each year), likely reflecting a burst of related supplementary data files alongside primary research articles.
