Dr. Supranee Buranapraditkun is a postdoctoral fellow in Dr. Hendrik Streeck’s laboratory at the U.S. Military HIV Research Program (MHRP). She graduated with a PhD in Molecular Biology and Immunology from the Interdisciplinary Medical Microbiology Graduate School at Chulalongkorn University in 2012. Her thesis focused on “The Roles of HIV-1 Specific Cytotoxic T Lymphocyte (CTL) responses and HLA class I alleles on viral control and viral escape in HIV-1 infected Thai individuals”.
She is a medical technologist at Chulalongkorn University’s Vaccine and Cellular Immunology Laboratory since 1995. During her research, she worked with Professor Kiat Ruxrungtham in the Division of Allergy and Clinical Immunology. She has been involved in the previous phase I: DNA/rfawlpox vaccine trial related to intracellular cytokine staining assays. Here, she was a coordinator of the NIH contract #NO1-A1-30024 at the Thailand site focusing on “HLA Typing and Epitope Mapping Relative to Vaccine Design” (2004-2008) with Professor Todd M. Allen.
Dr. Supranee’s current research focuses on an acute HIV infection cohort (RV254) to study earliest immune response in the periphery and lymph node. She is interested in how T follicular helper cells communicate with B cells and how their interaction drives the development of broadly neutralizing antibodies that may be protective when induced prophylactically.
