Overview
Richard received his PhD from Harvard University in 2017 and his MPH from Emory University in 2012. He is currently working with researchers within the Duke Center for Human Systems Immunology and Center for Aids Research. His past research was working with DNA methylation microarray data and methods development for summary Mendelian Randomization studies. He works closely with investigators to answer research questions related to the immune system or HIV/AIDS.

Late gene expression-deficient cytomegalovirus vectors elicit conventional T cells that do not protect against SIV.
Journal Article JCI Insight · March 22, 2023 Rhesus cytomegalovirus-based (RhCMV-based) vaccine vectors induce immune responses that protect ~60% of rhesus macaques (RMs) from SIVmac239 challenge. This efficacy depends on induction of effector memory-based (EM-biased) CD8+ T cells recognizing SIV pep ...

Journal Article Scientific reports · June 2022 Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a heterogeneous disease with evidence of distinct tumor types that develop through different somatically altered pathways. To better understand the impact of the host genome on somatically mutated genes and pathways, we assessed ...

Journal Article Sci Rep · July 14, 2021 A major challenge in developing an effective vaccine against HIV-1 is the genetic diversity of its viral envelope. Because of the broad range of sequences exhibited by HIV-1 strains, protective antibodies must be able to bind and neutralize a widely mutate ... Full text Link to item CiteRecent Grants
