Suresh Mittal
Cracking the code on a universal flu vaccine
Led by Dr. Suresh Mittal, Distinguished Professor of Virology in Purdue’s College of Veterinary Medicine, researchers are working on the development of a universal flu vaccine, one that would offer protection against all forms of influenza A that infect humans, regardless of the strain. Such a vaccine could eliminate the need to reformulate seasonal flu vaccines and provide the health care system with a jump-start in combatting the next flu pandemic.
