Daryl Geers

Daryl Geers is a Researcher in the Virology department at Erasmus Medical Center, focusing on immunological responses to vaccines, particularly in the context of COVID-19. Their work spans multiple disciplines including clinical immunology, virology, and vaccine development.

Research interests center on understanding vaccine immunogenicity across diverse populations, with particular emphasis on special patient groups including kidney transplant recipients and individuals with immunodeficiencies. Geers' work examines both humoral and cellular immune responses to various vaccine platforms including mRNA-based vaccines.

Recent publications demonstrate a strong focus on how different factors affect vaccine efficacy, including underlying medical conditions, immunosuppressive medications, and even lifestyle factors like sleep patterns. The research shows particular expertise in analyzing immune responses beyond just neutralizing antibodies, providing a more comprehensive understanding of vaccine-induced immunity.

Geers has been actively collaborating with numerous researchers across Erasmus MC and other institutions, contributing to significant studies published in high-impact journals including Nature Communications, Clinical Infectious Diseases, and the Journal of Clinical Immunology.
