Delighted to share that our complementary paper to the BPZE1 vaccine trial is now out, featuring an in‑depth analysis of immune responses associated with protection. lnkd.in/ekqr2FYD

Our paper on our Phase I Bordetella pertussis controlled human infection study is finally out! Thanks to everyone in the team who helped make this happen 🙏https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lanmic/article/PIIS2666-5247(25)00241-1/fulltext

Safety, colonisation kinetics, transmissibility, and immune correlates of protection in healthy adults inoculated with Bordetella pertussis in England: a single-centre, open-label, phase 1, controlled...

Our findings suggest that controlled human infection with B pertussis in an outpatient setting is safe. Higher humoral and CD4+ T-cell responses with specificity to acellular pertussis vaccine antigen...

Back in July I had the pleasure of representing the Wessex Medical Research charity at the New Forest show, speaking with members of the public and the Lord Lieutenant of Wiltshire about my research!

Last week at the Faculty of Medicine conference I was thrilled to be awarded the Tim Millar prize for best oral presentation by an ECR in CES, for my talk on our controlled human infection model of Bordetella pertussis. The results have been a long time in the making and a huge team effort!

Great to attend the @ukcvn.bsky.social conference for the first time and see my T cell data presented as part of @adamdale.bsky.social 's talk on BPZE1 Vaccine-induced responses! #CVN2025

Great day out yesterday with the Controlled Human Infection Group showcasing our work at the @southamptonbrc.bsky.social open day. Grateful for the opportunity to present as one of the ECR selected talks! #SouthamptonBRCOpenDay2025

📣 An exciting PhD opportunity for a student to join our friendly and supportive team!

🔥 PhD opportunity 🔥 Interested in a Moderna-funded PhD focused on deconvoluting the immunological mechanisms that protect against whooping cough to inform novel vaccine design with me, @afvallejo.bsky.social & @jaylaver.bsky.social? If so, apply before 18.06.25! www.findaphd.com/phds/project...

@hicvac.bsky.social with Southampton Controlled Human Infection Group. Fantastic poster presentation by @alihill.bsky.social outlining T cell responses induced by the novel pertussis vaccine candidate, BPZE1 👏

Fantastic view of Liverpool from the @hicvac.bsky.social conference venue. Looking forward to another day of talks today!
