Lori Maxfield, Ph.D.

Dr. Lori Maxfield is currently a Staff Scientist in Dan Barouch’s lab. She received a Ph.D. in Microbiology and Immunology from The Penn State Hershey Medical Center studying transcriptional regulation of the adenovirus E1b gene before pursuing a postdoctoral fellowship in John Coffin’s lab at Tufts University to study the relationship between retroviral integration and host cell transcription. By joining Dan Barouch’s research group, she has combined her interest and expertise in Adenoviruses and Retroviruses to develop and evaluate novel adenovirus-based vectors with a focus on HIV vaccine development. Projects she is currently working on include the development of Rhesus adenovirus-based vaccine vectors, preclinical development and characterization of a replication-competent Ad26 vector expressing a mosaic HIV envelope protein, and study of recombination of wild-type adenoviruses in vivo in a Rhesus macaque model.  LinkedIn / ResearchGate –
