| Citation | Adrian Hill is a world leader in the design and development of new vaccines for globally important infectious diseases. He showed that non-replicating vectored vaccines, particularly simian adenoviruses used in heterologous prime-boost immunisation regimes, can protect safely through cellular as well as humoral immunity supporting new vaccination approaches for Ebola and COVID-19. For malaria he has designed and developed a virus-like particle in saponin adjuvant vaccine, which recently showed high level efficacy in African children, the population most vulnerable to malaria mortality. He founded and directs the Jenner Institute at Oxford University, one of the leading academic vaccine institutes globally. |
