Attempts to develop a vaccine to prevent the spread of herpes have failed, but three local efforts to develop therapeutic vaccines may eventually provide a solution for those with herpes, as well as a wide range of other illnesses. Research by Darren Higgins, HMS professor of microbiology and immunobiology, and David M. Knipe, Higgins Professor of Microbiology and Immunobiology and chair, Harvard Virology
Program, is highlighted.
