Congratulations, Dr. Jennifer Adair and Dr. Justin Taylor!

Dr. Jennifer Adair,  Associate Professor, and Dr. Justin Taylor, Associate Professor, both of Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center, were awarded two new NIH R01 grants: “In vivo CRISPR engineering of B cells to produce anti-HIV broadly neutralizing antibodies using novel nanoparticles” and “Targeted genetic engineering of B cells to induce protective antibody responses to viral pathogens.” The awards will support development of improved approaches to engineer specific subsets of B cells to produce protective antibodies ex vivo and in vivo for HIV or common respiratory viruses. Congratulations!
