Whilst many diseases can be prevented by vaccination, there is currently no licensed vaccine for malaria – a disease that affects many millions of people each year with a high mortality rate. NDM spoke to Professor Adrian Hill, Director of the Jenner Institute and a leader in malaria vaccine development, about his aspirations to develop a highly effective licensed vaccine that could eventually help eradicate malaria.
NDM spoke to Professor Sarah Gilbert, Professor of Vaccinology and Programme leader in Human Influenza Vaccines at the Jenner Institute, about her research developing a ‘universal flu vaccine’ and the importance of vaccinating against flu.
