}} Ofer Levy is an American physician-scientist and pediatrician. He is Professor of Pediatrics at Harvard Medical School and Director of the Precision Vaccines Program at Boston Children's Hospital.[1][2][3] His research focuses on precision vaccinology, an approach that seeks to develop age-specific vaccine components rather than a one-size-fits-all immunization strategy.[4][5] He served as a voting member of the Food and Drug Administration's Vaccines and Related Biological Products Advisory Committee (VRBPAC).[6][7]
