Christiane Sigrid Eberhardt is a physician-scientist with a background in vaccine-immunology and is currently working as clinical vaccinologist at the Center for Vaccinology in Geneva. She completed her MD at the University Aachen, Germany, followed by a residency in pediatrics and a fellowship in neonatology at the University Hospitals of Geneva, Switzerland and a fellowship training at Great Ormond Street Hospital in London, UK. She received a Master’s degree with distinctions in Immunology of Infectious Diseases from the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, UK. Dr Eberhardt gained extensive experiences in vaccine immunology as research fellow under Prof. Claire-Anne Siegrist at the Center for Vaccinology, Geneva, and as postdoctoral research fellow in Prof. Rafi Ahmed’s laboratory at the Emory Vaccine Center, Atlanta, US, where she focused her work on the understanding of human B cell and CD8 T cell immunology in the context of vaccination and viral infections. She conducted a policy-changing clinical study on the timing of maternal pertussis immunization, a work that was awarded with several prizes. She was supported for her training by private foundations and the Swiss National Science Foundation and currently holds two privately funded research grants to assess the ontogeny of B cell responses in early life.
