Rudra named member of National Institutes of Health study section
Jai Rudra will review applications concerned with vaccine late-stage development
Jai Rudra, associate professor of biomedical engineering in the McKelvey School of Engineering at Washington University in St. Louis, has been invited to serve as a member of the Vaccines Against Infectious Diseases (VID) study section of the Applied Immunology and Disease Control integrated review group in the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Center for Scientific Review.
VID reviews applications concerning vaccine late-stage development against all classes of pathogens, except HIV, as well as those focused on the improvement and safety of vaccines already approved for human or veterinary use. Members serve four-year terms.
Rudra’s current research focuses on utilizing nanomaterials as vaccine adjuvants and exploring their combinations for vaccine development and regenerative immunology applications.
