About F. Heath Damron,PhD - Associate Professor, Director Vaccine Development Center

F. Heath Damron,PhD - Associate Professor, Director Vaccine Development Center, With an exceptional h-index of 25 and a recent h-index of 21 (since 2020), a distinguished researcher at West Virginia University, specializes in the field of mRNA vaccines, antibodies, COVID-19, Bordetella pertussis, vaccines.

His recent articles reflect a diverse array of research interests and contributions to the field:

Comparison of gastric inflammation and metaplasia induced by Helicobacter pylori or Helicobacter felis colonization in mice

Cross-protective antigens for vaccination

BECC438b TLR4 agonist supports unique immune response profiles from nasal and muscular DTaP pertussis vaccines in murine challenge models

Monoclonal antibodies against lipopolysaccharide protect against Pseudomonas aeruginosa challenge in mice

The mature c-terminal domain of filamentous hemagglutinin is sufficient to provide protection against Bordetella pertussisin the murine nasal cavity

Intranasal challenge with B. pertussis leads to more severe disease manifestations in mice than aerosol challenge

Development of an anti-Pseudomonas aeruginosa therapeutic monoclonal antibody WVDC-5244

Intranasal VLP-RBD vaccine adjuvanted with BECC470 confers immunity against Delta SARS-CoV-2 challenge in K18-hACE2-mice
