Dr. Berry is a board-certified pediatric infectious disease specialist with an interest in malaria immunology and pediatric vaccine trials. She co-leads the Malaria Immunology Unit within the Malaria Research Program, where she studies the humoral immune response to malaria following natural infection and malaria vaccination. Dr. Berry conducts malaria vaccine trials and challenge studies at the University of Maryland Center for Vaccine Development and Global Health (CVD).

Dr. Berry is a member of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) Vaccine and Treatment Evaluation Unit (VTEU) network of investigators. Recent NIAID clinical studies have included trials of COVID-19 vaccines, pandemic and seasonal influenza vaccines, a study of concurrent use of both licensed brands of rotavirus vaccines within the same schedule, and a study of the immunogenicity of Human Papilloma Virus vaccine when given outside of the recommended schedule.
