CHR Publishes Early Findings on RSV Protection in Infants
In May 2025, a group of researchers led by Stephanie Irving, MHS, a Senior Research Associate at CHR, reported on rates of RSV immunization for infants in the first season that immunization products were available. Their results were published in Pediatrics.
In 2024, CHR wrapped up the CASCADIA study, an ambitious undertaking that advanced our understanding of the coronavirus as well as COVID-19 vaccine effectiveness. This large, two-year study posed numerous logistical challenges for the study team and led to impressive accomplishments.
In November 2024, KP CHR staff gathered for a center-wide meeting honoring the life and work of Teresa Anne Hillier Graham, MD, MS, a Distinguished Investigator at CHR and a beloved colleague who died in October 2023.
