Tracey Doyle is a Ph.D. candidate at the University of Ottawa in the department of Biochemistry, Microbiology and Immunology. Tracey has previously demonstrated that this conserved region is essential for optimal viral growth. She now shows that monoclonal antibodies against this region are the first to universally inhibit neuraminidase activity and influenza growth both in vitro and in vivo. Her data supports the candidacy of neuraminidase as an antigen in universal vaccine research and Dr. Li's lab continues to pursue this research.

Prior to attending the University of Ottawa, Tracey completed her B.Sc at the University of Waterloo and her M.Sc at McMaster University in Hamilton. During her M.Sc she garnered experience with progenitor cells and respiratory disease. In demonstrating the diversity of a science based Ph.D., Tracey is also pursuing a career in intellectual property law. To this end she currently attends law school at the University of Ottawa.
