MIRC’s own Dr. Matthew Miller has been selected as the 2015 laureate for The Bhagirath Singh Early Career Award in Infection & Immunity. This $25,000 prize, established to recognize research excellence in Canada, is awarded annually to a new investigator in the field of Infection and Immunity with the highest ranking in CIHR’s Open Operating Grants competitions.
Dr. Miller’s research proposal, which focuses on “Understanding the generation and protective functions of broadly-neutralizing humoral immune responses against Influenza A virus”, was highly ranked in the March 2015 competition, and even more impressive, was the highest ranked in the Open competition in 2015 for new investigators in the field. According to the Institute of Infection and Immunity, Dr. Miller’s innovative research will “undoubtedly help us to better understand the mechanisms underlying the generation of broadly-neutralizing antibodies in the context of the polyclonal response to infection and vaccination” and advance the development of influenza therapeutics.
An official award ceremony will be held during the Institute for Infection and Immunity’s New Investigator Forum planned for the spring of 2017, where Dr. Miller will be presented with his well-deserved award.
