DESCRIPTION:Influenza A viruses (IAVs)\, the cause of flu\, are respirator
 y pathogens circulating between humans and zoonotic reservoirs. Annual sea
 sonal outbreaks\, occasional global pandemics and sporadic zoonotic IAV in
 fections contribute to substantial mortality and morbidity worldwide. Due 
 to rapid antigenic evolution of the viral glycoproteins\, licensed\, strai
 n-specific seasonal influenza vaccines exhibit suboptimal effectiveness de
 spite annual reformulations. In this thesis\, I explore synthetic biology 
 platforms for vaccine antigen design and delivery to develop and assess br
 oad-spectrum influenza immunogens in mice.\n
