Lisa Wagar is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Physiology & Biophysics at the University of California Irvine. The foundation of her lab's research is investigating how the specialized microenvironment of lymphoid tissues regulates antigen-specific adaptive immune responses. Dr. Wagar's group uses an immune organoid model derived from human lymphoid tissues to study how a variety of host and antigen factors contribute to and explain inter-individual differences in vaccine, virus, and immunomodulatory therapy responses. Her goal is to leverage this information to accelerate and inform rational vaccine and immunotherapy design.
