In the Media: Universal Flu Vaccine Update
01/22/2013: Local scientists searching for flu fighters, Boston Globe
01/23/2013: Push is on for better flu shot, Boston Globe
Massachusetts scientists and researcher are creating vaccines that will fight a variety of flu strains and are trying to predict how the virus is evolving so that vaccines are better matched to each years strains. Nearly 4 years ago, Dr. Wayne A. Marasco found that the stalks of the proteins do not seem to undergo as fast an evolution as the heads of proteins, suggesting they would make a good target for a universal vaccine.

Humanized Mouse Program open to research community
Cutting edge research requires cutting edge technology. Humanized mouse models offers a platform to bring research projects to the next level. Since 2007, the Marasco Laboratory has successfully developed, characterized and optimized humanized mouse models. We currently have three models: hNSG, BLT and GTL plus more in development. In June 2011 we opened our expertise to the Harvard University Center for AIDS Research (HU-CFAR) community. Now we are expanding our Humanized Mouse Program to the research community at large. Investigators can use our models in the form of collaborative or sponsored research programs. We will guide you through the process to make it an easy and successful experience. For additional details, please visit our website at www.humouse.org.
