Matthias J. Schnell serves as Director of the Jefferson Vaccine Center and Professor & Chair of Microbiology & Immunology at Thomas Jefferson University's College of Life Sciences, with additional professorship in Biochemistry & Molecular Biology. His research spans vaccine development and viral pathogenesis.
His laboratory pioneers Rhabdovirus-based vector vaccines against HIV/SIV, Anthrax, and Botulism using molecular adjuvants and retargeted immune responses, while developing safer rabies vaccines for wildlife and humans. Pathogenesis research examines rabies neurotropism, neuronal transport mechanisms, and host protein interactions with viral phosphoprotein/glycoprotein.
