Welcome to the Hiep Vu Lab
The Vu Laboratory is interested in translational research that helps promote animal health and well-being. The overarching goal of is to develop effective intervention strategies to control viral diseases in animals. Currently, the lab is devoted to study three major swine viruses: porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV), swine influenza virus (SIV) and African swine fever virus (ASFV). The research topics include: (i) characterization of host immune responses to natural infection or vaccination, (ii) identification of viral proteins and/or epitopes capable of eliciting protective immunity and (iii) rationale design of safe and efficacy vaccine immunogens.
