Julie is working on developing a modular virus-like particle approach for creating novel vaccine candidates for HIV, Influenza, and Zika. The HIV work is a collaboration with Prof. Peter Kim at Stanford University. She is also working on developing the virus-like particles as a modular platform for targeted T-cell antigen delivery in collaboration with Prof. Josh Elias.
