Bryce Chackerian is a Professor in the University of New Mexico’s Department of Molecular Genetics and Microbiology and co-inventor of the Agilvax Technology.
As a post-doctoral fellow in Dr. John Schiller’s laboratory at the National Cancer Institute he began his work on using Virus-like particles (VLPs) as platform for antigen display.
Since
moving to the University of New Mexico in 2004 his laboratory has shown that VLP presentation can enhance the immunogenicity of numerous target epitopes, including epitopes derived from self-antigens, which are normally subject to the mechanisms of B cell tolerance.
His work has focused on the development of new vaccines against infectious agents, as well as self-antigens involved in chronic diseases.
