Selien Oostvogels

Selien Oostvogels is a Clinical Immunology researcher at the Institute of Tropical Medicine Antwerp (ITM) in Belgium, with a research focus on infectious diseases including Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Ebola virus. Her work bridges laboratory research, clinical studies, and public health applications in global health contexts.

Her research interests encompass:

• Immunological responses to viral infections and vaccination
• Molecular epidemiology of drug-resistant tuberculosis
• Genomic characterization of pathogens using next-generation sequencing
• Vaccine efficacy and durability studies
• Transmission dynamics of infectious diseases

Analysis of her recent publications reveals a dual research trajectory addressing both bacterial (tuberculosis) and viral (Ebola) pathogens, with emphasis on molecular mechanisms of disease, resistance, and immune responses. Her work demonstrates strong international collaboration, particularly with African research teams.

Dr. Oostvogels has published in high-impact journals including Lancet Infectious Diseases, Vaccine, and Journal of Clinical Microbiology, with research that has garnered attention across academic social media platforms and reference management services.
