Research summaryDr. Card’s research interests include understanding the immunological mechanisms controlling viral susceptibility and disease progression, with emphasis on HIV. In particular, her research addresses questions about how inflammation affects interactions between immune cells and tissue stromal cells, and the downstream effects of those interactions on susceptibility to HIV acquisition. Dr. Card also studies the development of inflammatory and immune-mediated disease in people living with HIV. Recently, Dr. Card’s research interests have grown to include immune responses to vaccination in diverse populations, with a focus on COVID-19 vaccines.
BiographyDr. Card is a Research Scientist in the National Laboratory for HIV Immunology at the JC Wilt Infectious Diseases Research Centre, part of the National Microbiology Laboratory and Public Health Agency of Canada. She is also an Adjunct Professor in the Department of Medical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases at the University of Manitoba.
After completing her PhD in HIV immunology at the University of Manitoba, Dr. Card pursued a post-doctoral fellowship studying interactions between immune and tissue stromal cells in the context of cancer at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne, Switzerland. This work inspired an interest in understanding parallel cellular interactions in infectious diseases and led to Dr. Card’s current research aimed at understanding tissue-based cellular interactions in viral infection.
