Research Interests

Max Crispin focuses on the development of glycoprotein-based immunotherapies and vaccines. His lab is looking at the structure of the glycan modification of HIV Envelope spike as they form epitopes for broadly neutralizing antibodies, and investigates the relationship between the glycosylation of immunogens to that of native virions. By doing this, the laboratory is helping guide the development of lead vaccine candidates.
