About Presenter

Laura C. Cook is an Assistant Professor at SUNY Binghamton in New York. She earned her B.A. degree in English Literature and B.S. degree in Microbiology from the University of Minnesota in 2005. She has researched Gram-positive bacterial pathogens such as Staphylococcus aureus and pathogenic streptococci since 2003. After completing her PhD at the University of Minnesota in 2012, Dr. Cook begun her postdoctoral work at the University of Illinois in Chicago. In 2018, Dr. Cook moved to Binghamton University to begin a position as an Assistant Professor. Her lab focuses currently on two species of pathogenic streptococci, S. pyogenes and S. agalactiae and their interactions with host mucosal surfaces.

Thank you for your research. Interesting inferences to be made about protein-based vaccine candidates in the future.

Grateful for all you and your lab are doing towards enhancing the effectiveness of a maternal vaccine for GBS – a big shout-out to you and all the members of the Cook Lab!

This is an astonishing ongoing investigation which will hopefully lead to an optimized protein and
/or combined anti GBS vaccine which can be used in mother to reduce maternal colonization and newborn colonization and invasive disestablished (vascular/organ damage, death). Hillier and colleagues have reported decreased maternal colonization.your work points a way towards a possibly more effective protein antigen vaccine , which may powerfully protect against vessel and organ( CNS)damage…. I will contribute to GBS-I directly for supporting your presentation.
