Desirée Rodrigues Plaça
Postdoctoral Scholar, Infectious Diseases
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsI am studying Flaviviridae viruses, focusing on dengue. My research explores T cell and myeloid dysregulation in severe dengue to improve vaccines and identify biomarkers. I'm characterizing T cell responses to DENV, and the regulatory immune response through integrative systems analysis. My ultimate goal is to contribute to the development of improved diagnostic tools and vaccines for pediatric infectious diseases, particularly in endemic regions like Brazil.
