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.
