DOID seminar series (hybrid)
join us for the next seminar in the series
Bio: Prof John Tregoning
My lab researches the immune response to vaccines, in order to prevent respiratory infections.
Every breath we take, we inhale a vast array of bacteria, viruses and fungi and yet we do not get infected every time we breath in. My group aims to understand what prevents symptomatic respiratory infections, focussing on the immune response.
To answer why we get infected, we have developed a range of in vivo and in vitro models of infection and vaccination in early life, including RSV, Influenza, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus, Acinetobacter baumannii and non-typeable Haemophilus influenzae (ntHi).
Contract research
I have experience of working with biotech companies to perform pre-clinical assessment of vaccines to RSV and influenza. This uses our well established infection models and we are open to further collaborations. We are open for new collaborations.
Science writing
I have written 2 popular science books: Infectious and Live Forever (out January 2025).
