Professor John Stambas serves as Associate Head Of School, Research at Deakin University's Faculty of Health, School of Medicine, and Institute for Mental and Physical Health and Clinical Translation. He leads the Viral Immunology laboratory and has established himself as a prominent researcher in viral immunology with expertise spanning from cellular mechanisms to clinical applications.
His academic foundation includes:
- Bachelor of Science from University of Melbourne
- Doctor of Philosophy from University of Melbourne
- Graduate Certificate of Higher Education from Deakin University
Professor Stambas specializes in Immunology and Virology, with particular expertise in respiratory virus infections including influenza and HIV. His research bridges fundamental immunological mechanisms with translational applications for vaccine and therapeutic development. He has made significant contributions to understanding T cell responses against viral pathogens and the development of novel vaccine strategies.
His extensive publication record demonstrates a consistent research trajectory focused on viral immunology, with recent work emphasizing emerging respiratory viruses and next-generation vaccine platforms. The articles reveal a progression from basic immunological mechanisms to increasingly translational research with clinical implications.
Professor Stambas actively supervises graduate students, offering opportunities for Masters by Research and PhD candidates interested in viral pathogenesis and immune responses. His mentorship extends to guiding early-career researchers in developing independent scientific careers.
Based at Deakin University's Geelong Waurn Ponds Campus, Professor Stambas directs the Viral Immunology laboratory, which serves as a collaborative hub for national and international research on viral diseases. The laboratory maintains strong connections with leading research institutions including St. Jude Children's Research Hospital and the University of Melbourne, where he previously worked under Nobel Laureate Peter Doherty.
