Lisa Morici Research Group

Tulane University

A vaccine must generate protection in the tissues where infection takes hold. Lisa Morici studies how adjuvants, immunization routes, and delivery locations influence vaccine responses against difficult bacterial infections. Her lab develops outer-membrane-vesicle vaccine platforms and explores alternatives for drug-resistant wound infections, including peptides and phage approaches. The research connects immunology with vaccine design and antimicrobial strategies. It is relevant to researchers interested in tissue-specific immunity, bacterial pathogenesis, and moving experimental vaccine candidates through careful preclinical evaluation.
