About
Brandon J. DeKosky is a leading researcher in immunology and bioengineering, whose work focuses on understanding B-cell immunity to inform next-generation vaccine design. His major contributions center on developing innovative technologies to decode the antibody repertoire, particularly in the context of HIV-1. His highly cited 2017 paper, “Antibodyomics: bioinformatics technologies for understanding B‐cell immunity to HIV‐1,” with 37 citations, introduced powerful computational tools to analyze how the immune system generates broadly neutralizing antibodies. This work has been instrumental in identifying key antibody lineages from HIV-1-infected donors, providing a roadmap for designing vaccines that can elicit similar protective responses. DeKosky’s research bridges high-throughput sequencing, bioinformatics, and immunology, enabling unprecedented insights into the molecular evolution of antibodies. His achievements include pioneering methods to link heavy and light chain pairings at single-cell resolution, a breakthrough that has advanced our understanding of B-cell development and antibody discovery. With a growing impact in the field, DeKosky’s work is shaping the future of rational vaccine design and therapeutic antibody engineering.
