Vaccinology MPhil

We have established a Centre for Global Vaccine Research to integrate world-leading multidisciplinary research and training in laboratory science, clinical trials and epidemiology within the Institute of Infection and Global Health, and reaching across the Faculty of Health and Life Sciences and partners around the world.

Overview

The University of Liverpool’s Institute of Infection and Global Health was established to bring together leading medical, veterinary and basic science researchers from across the Faculty of Health and Life Sciences.

The Centre for Global Vaccine Research currently works across Europe, Asia, Africa and more recently South America. Our research spans the breadth of vaccine research from development to implementation and evaluation.

The key aims of this research are to:

Develop and evaluate novel vaccines against major global causes of illness and death
Better understand and improve the performance of existing vaccines
Generate evidence to inform vaccine policy nationally and internationally
Share pre-clinical expertise amongst human and veterinary vaccinologists
Train and educate a new generation of vaccine scientists.

Our research interests

We particularly welcome research proposals that match those of our researchers, including:

Flavivirus Vaccine Development (including Zika virus)
Rotavirus Vaccines
Pneumococcal Vaccines
Universal Influenza Vaccines
Onchocerciasis Vaccines
Streptococcal vaccines
Enteric vaccines (including norovirus and enteric bacteria)
Veterinary vaccines (including Fasciola, Trypanosomiasis and avian respiratory viruses)
Herpes viruses.
