Eunice Nduati is a Research Scientist at the Kenya Medical Research Institute - Wellcome Trust Research Programme (KWTRP), Kilifi, Kenya. Her research interests are in understanding host immune responses to infectious pathogens common in sub-Saharan Africa to inform vaccine development. Her work focuses on HIV, to understand cellular and molecular mechanisms involved in the generation of HIV-specific antibodies with relevant functions that may inform vaccine development. In addition, she is interested in assessing population immune baselines and how these impact vaccine outcomes across populations. As part of a collaborative programme with the International AIDS Vaccine Initiative (IAVI), Eunice has established immunogenicity testing frameworks for HIV vaccine studies.
