Dr. Ted Ross Joins the Vaccine & Gene Therapy Institute of Florida as Program Director

Posted on by

PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

The Vaccine and Gene Therapy Institute of Florida (VGTI Florida), a leading nonprofit immunological research institute, is pleased to announce the appointment of Ted M. Ross, Ph.D., as Program Director. Dr. Ross will explore new vaccine technologies intended to protect against all strains of seasonal influenza. Such a vaccine could potentially eliminate the need for seasonal flu shots.

Traditionally, the flu vaccine is a mixture of inactive influenza viruses. However, Dr. Ross is taking a novel approach by examining the use of a synthetic vaccine created from genetic sequences of many different flu viruses. Dr. Ross previously used this method to produce a vaccine against the H5N1 virus, commonly known as the bird flu. The vaccine, well-tolerated in pre-clinical trials, successfully protects against known strains of bird flu. Dr. Ross and his VGTI Florida colleagues are applying similar strategies to fight other serious viruses such as West Nile Virus, Dengue and HIV Type 1 (HIV-1).

The holy grail of influenza vaccine research is a vaccine that protects against all influenza strains, avoiding the need for annual vaccinations, said Jay Nelson, Ph.D., founder and Executive Director, VGTI Florida. Were genuinely excited that Dr. Ross has joined us. His extensive background in immunology and microbiology will further benefit our efforts to develop vaccines that can help people with influenza, especially the elderly, added Dr. Rafick Skaly, Chief Scientific Officer and Co-Director of the institute.

Most recently, Dr. Ross was an Associate Professor, University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine, where he served in the Microbiology and Molecular Genetics department and was a full member of the Center for Vaccine Research. Prior to that, he was an Assistant Professor in the Department of Microbiology and Immunology at East Carolina University, School of Medicine in North Carolina.

Dr. Ross has co-authored numerous scientific articles published in journals such as Nature Immunology, The Journal of Virology, Journal of Infectious Disease, Vaccine, and the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. He is a member of the American Society for Virology, American Society of Microbiology, Sigma Xi, International Society of Vaccines, and others. He holds B.S. and M.S. degrees from the University of Arkansas in Zoology and Microbiology, respectively. Dr. Ross earned his Ph.D. from Vanderbilt University in Microbiology & Immunology. Additionally, he was a Postdoctoral Fellow in HIV Research at Duke University and a Senior Research Associate in HIV Vaccine Research at Emory University.

Novel Applications of the ProteOnâ„¢ XPR36 System in Biomolecular Interaction Analyses – Video

Novel Applications of the ProteOn trade; XPR36 System in Biomolecular Interaction Analyses
For more information, visit http://www.bio-rad.com Surface plasmon resonance (SPR) is employed as an excellent technology for measuring biomolecular interactions in real-time in a label-free manner. Using this method, one of the interacting partners (ligand) is immobilized to the sensor surface, while the other (analyte) is free in solution and passed over the surface. The kinetic parameters of the interactions are further calculated from association and dissociation sensorgrams. This lecture introduces the ProteOn XPR36 system, an SPR optical biosensor featuring a 6 x 6 interaction array for the simultaneous analysis of up to six ligands with up to six analytes which enables the analysis of up to 36 different protein interactions in one run on a single chip. A protein-protein interaction, of adenylate cyclase toxin (CyaA) with integrin receptor CD11b/CD18, a lipid-protein interaction, of phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PIP2) with membrane channel TrpV1, and a DNA-protein interaction, of transcription factor FoxO4 with target DNA, are presented to demonstrate the throughput, flexibility, and versatility of this instrument.
