Focus Area: Global Immunology and Immune Sequencing for Epidemic Response(GIISER)
Serwanga's leadership in immune profiling and monoclonal antibody discovery, funded by GIISER, has led to the identification of biomarkers of protection and the development of robust virus-specific antibody assays. Her work with 10x Genomics has revolutionized the understanding of the molecular mechanisms underpinning immune response, and her contributions to COVID-19 vaccine research have positioned UVRI as a central hub for epidemic preparedness. She is dedicated to the mentorship of emerging scientists and fostering international collaborations in the fight against global epidemics and viral diseases.
