Kinyoun Memorial Lecture on Thursday, Dec. 8 at 3 p.m. ET in Lipsett Amphitheater in Bldg. 10 at the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, Maryland. In a talk titled “Structure-Based Vaccine Design and B-cell Ontogeny in the Modern Era of Vaccinology,” Dr. Mascola will discuss how learning more about the structure of viral proteins and antiviral antibodies, as well as antibody evolution—also known as B-cell ontogeny—can help researchers create and improve vaccines to combat viruses such as HIV, respiratory syncytial virus and influenza. This lecture is sponsored by  NIAID, part of the NIH, and will be available through live videocast at https://videocast.nih.gov/.
