معرفی
Jason Dufour, DVM, DACLAM, is an Associate Professor of Medicine and Assistant Director for Clinical and Research Medicine at the Tulane National Primate Research Center. He holds a BS and DVM from Louisiana State University. His research focuses on infectious diseases (including SIV and COVID-19), gluten-sensitive enteropathy, and gene therapy applications in non-human primate models. His work spans virology, immunology, and veterinary medicine, with significant contributions to vaccine development, viral pathogenesis, and translational medicine.
Key research interests include:
- Simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV) pathogenesis
- COVID-19 vaccine adjuvants and efficacy
- Gluten-induced enteropathy in macaques
- Gene therapy for genetic disorders
- Alcohol's impact on immune responses
Publications highlight advancements in viral transmission blocking (e.g., CCR5 inhibitors), vaccine efficacy, and understanding disease mechanisms in non-human primate models. His clinical work includes managing primate health and surgical interventions for conditions like degenerative joint disease and vascular complications.
Dr. Dufour collaborates on NIH-funded studies and has pioneered translational research linking basic science to clinical applications. His expertise bridges veterinary medicine, immunology, and infectious disease research, making significant contributions to biomedical science.
