Welcome to the ESWI Airborne series Shaping the Future of Respiratory Virus Research A central question explored in this informative episode on immunological medicine is why individuals respond so differently to the same virus, or even the same vaccine. Early career scientists Alina Tscherne, postdoctoral researcher at the Ignaz Semmelweis Institute, Medical University of Vienna, Austria and Valentino D’Onofrio, postdoctoral researcher at the Center for Vaccinology, Ghent University, Belgium expertly explain the key factors that shape diverse immune responses and why maintaining a balanced immune response is so crucial for clinical outcome. Together they share insights into the future of vaccine design arguing that biological diversity and variability should not be seen as confounding factors but instead be embraced as opportunities. The episode also explores some of the major gaps between immunology research and real-world application and reveals what “going to the gym” has in common with getting a flu shot?
