Formerly, he was the founding President and CEO of the Human Immunome Project (previously called the Human Vaccines Project), a non-profit R&D consortium focused on decoding the human immune system to accelerate vaccine and therapeutic development.

Dr. Koff has served in senior R&D leadership roles at the International AIDS Vaccine Initiative, United Biomedical Inc., and the NIAID, and established the Neutralizing Antibody Consortium which identified HIV broadly neutralizing antibodies currently in development. Between 2020-2024, he was Adjunct Professor, Dept. of Epidemiology at the Harvard TH Chan School of Public Health and has published over 100 scientific papers and edited eight books on vaccine development.
