Fundraising for research from Ted
Believe it or not, about 20 years’ worth of potentially life-saving drugs are sitting in labs right now, untested. Why? Because they can’t get the funding to go to trials; the financial risk is too high.
This TED talk is great. It explains very clearly how drugs and vaccines get to market or ‘from bench to bedside’, in particular the first part of the talk. It’s about cancer, not Crohn’s Disease, but the description of how new drugs get to market is the same. We are so often asked about the vaccine trial and how it will progress. This provides a good answer for all those enquirers.
Just a small note – we do not believe that the Crohn’s MAP Vaccine will fall at the Valley of Death stage (phase 1)! We’d rather aim for the Peak of Health as we believe that this vaccine will get through that bottleneck!
Funding for the MAP test and vaccine explained
We are funding the vaccine and a companion test for MAP. It is quite complicated. This infographic shows you where the money is coming from, where it is going and how much is needed. Please click on the image to see a larger version and you can also download a PDF here.

Professor Hermon-Taylor visits Jenner Vaccine Institute
Professor Hermon-Taylor visited the Jenner Institute at Oxford University yesterday.
Edward Jenner was the inventor of vaccination. The current institute was founded in November 2005 to develop innovative vaccines against major global diseases. It focuses both on diseases of humans and livestock and tests new vaccine approaches in parallel in different species.
It has been involved with the Ebola vaccine programme and it is also involved in the development of the Crohn’s MAP vaccine together with Professor Hermon-Taylor and experts at Kings College London. The insitute’s expertise in the connections between humans and cattle is invaluable in this research.
Our team raising funds for the Crohn’s MAP vaccine continues to grow
We are very pleased to welcome Arthur Hookway, Mayor of Sutton to our fundraising and awareness team. He has already been busy spreading the word about the fantastic promise of a cure for Crohn’s disease that this vaccine offers.
