Progress towards a universal flu vaccine: understanding the many 'hats' of the influenza virus by VaccineCentre published on 2019-04-24T10:59:40Z The first episode in a series produced by the Vaccine Centre @ the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine (LSHTM)to celebrate World Immunization Week 2019. Episode 1 looks at what kind of ‘wardrobe’ pathogens have and how do they use it to hide from our immune system? Professor Sunetra Gupta from the University of Oxford discusses how mathematical modelling of evolution of epitope diversity in infectious disease pathogens can lead to a candidate universal flu vaccine. Dr Petra Klepac from LSHTM interviews Professor Gupta who recently visited the School to give the Inaugural Annual Lecture for the Centre for the Mathematical Modelling of Infectious Diseases (CMMID).
