Systems Biology to Identify Biomarkers of Neonatal Vaccine Immunogenicity - Papua New Guinea (PNG) Validation cohort [methylation]
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Infection is the most common cause of death in early life, especially for newborns and can be reduced by immunization but insufficient knowledge of how vaccines protect the very young limits their optimal use. To gain insight into how vaccines induce protection of the most vulnerable, our project employs two novel approaches studying newborn responses to hepatitis B vaccine (HBV): (a) systems biology that uses technologies which comprehensively measure global changes in molecules such as transcriptomics (RNA) and proteomics (proteins), as well as cell composition of the blood and (b) use of human newborn blood components, collected prior to immunization, to model vaccine responses in vitro (outside the body). Characterizing vaccine-induced molecular patterns (signatures) that correspond to vaccine-mediated protection will accelerate development and optimization of vaccines against early life infections of major global health importance.
