Responding to the COVID crisis

This feature was written by Becky Allen for the Annual ¶¶Òõ¶ÌÊÓƵ Report 2019-2020.

As well as exposing weaknesses in healthcare systems and supply chains, the coronavirus pandemic has underscored the importance of fundamental research and collective effort. During 2020, scientists rose to the challenge of developing new vaccines and effective treatments for Covid-19.

Vaccinations: a Global Challenge

This feature was written by Becky Allen for the Annual ¶¶Òõ¶ÌÊÓƵ Report 2017

The Institute’s research is having a major impact on global public health. Although the first vaccines were developed more than two centuries ago, infectious diseases such as malaria and influenza still affect millions of people each year. By improving our understanding of the immune system and its response to modern vaccines, the Institute is paving the way for better vaccines that will protect more people from life-threatening diseases.
