Biography

Dr Carolyn A Cohen completed her PhD at the HKU-Pasteur Research Pole at the University of Hong Kong in 2023. She was supervised by Dr Sophie Valkenburg and received support from the Hong Kong PhD Fellowship Scheme and as well as a Doctoral Entrance Scholarship for Medical Excellence. Her research explores cross-reactive immunity to emerging respiratory viruses in clinical samples. She aims to broaden understanding of serological and cellular immune responses that may contribute to protection against viral infection or severe diseases, in the absence of robust neutralising antibodies. Using immune assays, she investigates the specificity, cross-reactivity, function and memory of antibodies and T cells.
