Professor Peter Horby is Senior Clinical Research Fellow. His research focusses on epidemic diseases such as Ebola and bird flu, and crosses the disciplines of basic science, medical science and public health. Influenza, SARS & Ebola
Research on emerging infectious diseases can only be conducted during outbreaks. Although virology has improved, a well calibrated and effective public health response is often lacking. Epidemiological and clinical research as well as mathematical modelling will give us answers during the epidemics and help us provide better diagnostics and better treatments.

Dr Helen Fletcher talks about progress in the development of a vaccine against tuberculosis. Tuberculosis kills two million people annually, with the majority of infection occurring in developing countries. Dr Helen Fletcher works on multi-partner projects to discover biomarkers of protection from TB disease, develop clinical trials capacity in Africa, and develop new vaccines for TB. Dr Fletcher has also developed her own research programme on transcriptional profiling of immune responses following both TB and malaria vaccination.
