Adriana Tomic, PhD, specializes in systems immunology, focusing on human immunological memory and recall responses. As an Assistant Professor at Boston University, she leads a research team that integrates multi-omics data and machine learning to study immune system dynamics and improve vaccine effectiveness.
Her expertise includes the development of recombinant cytomegalovirus as live attenuated vaccine candidates and the creation of the SIMON machine learning platform for biomedical data analysis. Adriana's work on the ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 vaccine and her widely published research in journals like The Lancet and Nature Immunology highlight her significant contributions to vaccine development and global health.
