Corine Geurts van Kessel

Corine Geurts van Kessel is a Researcher in the Department of Virology at Erasmus University Medical Center. Her work focuses on vaccine immunogenicity, viral pathogenesis, and immune responses in immunocompromised populations such as HIV patients, kidney transplant recipients, and children with genetic disorders like Netherton Syndrome.

Her research interests include:

• Vaccine efficacy and optimization
• T cell biology and immune response mechanisms
• Emerging viral infections and zoonotic diseases
• Interactions between viral infections and neurological conditions

Recent publications highlight studies on:

• COVID-19 vaccine performance in special populations
• Children with Netherton Syndrome
• HIV-positive individuals stratified by CD4 counts
• Rabies virus strain comparison and dendritic cell responses
• EBV associations with pediatric multiple sclerosis

Her work emphasizes translational research bridging immunology, virology, and clinical practice.
