Andreas Wack studied in Konstanz and did his PhD at the NIMR in London Mill Hill. He then worked for Novartis Vaccines in Siena, Italy, on hepatitis C virus, the action of vaccine adjuvants, and on next generation influenza vaccines. In 2009 he returned to academia to investigate host responses to respiratory viral, bacterial and co-infections, studying the biology of lung epithelia and endothelia; unique and overlapping actions of type I and type III interferons in immunopathology, tissue damage and repair; and the long-term effects that acute infections have on lung immunity.
