We interviewed the Principal Investigators responsible for leading each of the CIVICs Centers as part of a two-part interview series. In the first part of each interview, we focused on learning a little bit about the person behind the science, and in the second part, we asked each PI to introduce us to their Center. 

In the second part of our series, we interviewed the Principal Investigators (PIs) for the Center for Influenza Vaccine Research for High-Risk Populations (CIVR-HRP), starting with Ted Ross at University of Georgia.
