Dr. Kizzmekia S. Corbett is a research fellow and the scientific lead for the CoronaVirus Vaccines & Immunopathogenesis Team at the National Institutes of Health (NIH), National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, Vaccine Research Center. She obtained her PhD in North Carolina at UNC-Chapel Hill. Dr. Corbett uses her expertise to propel novel vaccine development for pandemic preparedness.
In response to the ongoing global COVID-19 pandemic, the vaccine concept incorporated in mRNA-1273 was designed by Dr. Corbett’s team from viral sequence data and rapidly deployed to industry partner, Moderna, Inc., for U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved Phase 1 clinical trial, which unprecedently began only 66 days from the viral sequence release. Combining her research goals with her knack for mentoring, Dr. Corbett aims to become an independent principal investigator.
