Hana Golding is currently the Chief of the Laboratory of Retrovirus at the Division of Viral Products, Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research (CBER), FDA. Dr. Golding received her Ph.D. degree from Oregon Health Sciences University, Portland, Oregon, and her postdoctoral training at the Experimental Immunology Branch, NCI, NIH. Dr. Golding Joined the Division of Viral Products, CBER in 1987 and was appointed the Chief of the Laboratory of Retrovirus Research in 1993. To date, Dr. Golding has authored more than 200 research papers and book chapters on immunology, virology, and infectious diseases topics.
The main areas of research projects in the Golding lab include:
- Vaccines against viral pathogens, including pandemic influenza, RSV, Ebola, Zika, HIV, and SARS-CoV-2
- Evaluation of vaccine safety (in vivo/in vitro) and immune responses, including new methods for increasing antibody avidity and epitope diversity
- Vaccine adjuvants, including their mode of action and impact on immune responses, as well as identifying new biomarkers predictive of adjuvant safety and efficacy in people.
General Overview
Industry and academic researchers are developing new vaccines against viruses, including pandemic influenza strains of avian origin (H5N1, H7N7, H7N9, H9N9), respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), Ebola, Zika virus, and now SARS-CoV-2. Novel "universal influenza vaccines" are also under development. Many of these vaccines are being developed and tested together with novel adjuvants (agents that stimulate or increase immune response to vaccines).
Therefore, in addition to evaluating the safety and efficacy of the vaccine itself, FDA must also evaluate the combination of vaccine and its adjuvant. Moreover, evaluation of each viral vaccine presents unique challenges that agency regulators must address individually.
The goal of our program is to develop new and improved tools for monitoring vaccine safety and efficacy. FDA will then share these new tools with the regulated industry to enable use of these tools in their research and development efforts.
The availability of new tools could reduce the time it takes to develop new vaccines against influenza, RSV, Ebola, Zika, and SARS-CoV-2, and help FDA to quickly recognize potential safety problems with vaccines that use new adjuvants. Thus, our work will contribute significantly to public health in the U.S. and globally by facilitating development and approval of new vaccines that prevent serious diseases.
Scientific Overview
Our laboratory is working to provide new insights that will facilitate the development of effective vaccines against highly pathogenic viruses, including vaccines against avian influenza (H5, H7, H9, H2) based on the globular head of the influenza hemagglutinin (HA) from the corresponding viruses. We are also exploring new protective targets in RSV attachment protein (G), Ebola glycoprotein GP, and the new SARS-CoV-2 virus.
Future vaccines for influenza strains with pandemic potential will likely be combined with adjuvants in order to improve their immunogenicity, to generate heterosubtypic neutralizing activity, and to reduce the amount of antigen required for vaccination. Reducing amounts needed would be an important advantage for global vaccination campaigns.
In parallel with vaccine development, we are working to improve the analytical tools available for comparing immune responses generated by different vaccine candidates. Our laboratory initiated the use of whole Genome Phage Display Libraries (GFPDL) for comprehensive analyses of antibody repertoires. Additionally, we use surface plasmon resonance (SPR) to quantitate antibody binding to properly folded viral surface proteins and to measure antibody affinity maturation. These tools are used in the evaluation of convalescent sera and monoclonal antibodies, and to compare immune sera from recipients of adjuvanted vs. unadjuvanted influenza vaccines.
Both GFPDL and SPR technologies have been developed for RSV, which causes high morbidity in newborn children and in frail elderly individuals. Detailed knowledge of the changes in anti-RSV reactivity in different age groups is key to successful vaccination. New RSV vaccines are in advanced development and will be evaluated in the very old, the very young (newborn infants), and pregnant mothers.
In response to the Ebola epidemic in West Africa and the outbreaks of Zika virus infections in the Americas, multiple vaccine initiatives are ongoing. We developed novel methods to better explore the antibody repertoires following Ebola and Zika infection and vaccination.
In response to the current COVID-19 pandemic, our lab developed several analytical tools for in-depth analyses of humoral immune responses to SARS-CoV-2 infection and vaccination. These include Whole-Genome-Fragment-Phage-Display-Libraries (GFPDL) covering both the spike protein and internal genes; pseudovirus neutralization assays against the original Wuhan strain and against multiple variants of concern; ACE2/RBD blocking ELISAs;, and surface plasmon resonance (SPR)-based assays to measure antibody affinity against spike protein subdomains and receptor binding domain (RBD) with escape mutations. Human monocytes are also being used in a project to understand the pathogenesis of COVID-19 that involves cytokine storm and high levels of fever-inducing molecules. A role for antibody complexes is also under investigation.
The new analytical tools developed in our lab will help to find correlates of protection against influenza, RSV, Ebola, Zika, and SARS-CoV-2. New tools could also contribute to the design of improved vaccines with broad cross-protection potential.
Some new adjuvants contain components that can cause unacceptable reactogenicity and systemic adverse reactions. Often these adverse reactions are undetectable in pre-clinical toxicity studies in small animals, due to species differences in the cellular receptor targeted by the novel adjuvants or because of their lower sensitivity to drug-associated toxicities. Therefore, we are developing rapid in vitro screening assays based on human cells to evaluate the activities of new adjuvants and to identify parameters that will predict unacceptable toxicities, including fever, in humans.
Our program is also continuing in the application of whole-body bioimaging of animals challenged with recombinant RSV-luciferase. This approach, in addition to the use of advanced statistic tools, provides a practical, quantitative, and humane approach to studying virus dissemination in animal models and to evaluating the efficacy of novel vaccines and therapies against smallpox and RSV.
