Scott Hensley’s lab has focused on how the influenza virus accumulates mutations from year to year to create new viral strains that are able to infect humans. He’s also looked at factors that influence the responsiveness of the flu vaccine. His work has implications for how the strains for seasonal flu vaccines are selected and produced.
