Professor Gilbert has been a part of Oxford’s vaccine community since 1994, working closely with Professor Adrian Hill, Director of the Jenner Institute. Receiving her professorship in 2010, Gilbert has spent the past decade and a half working on novel influenza vaccinations. Now, she’s working on a modified version of the ChAdOx1 vaccine (ChAdOx1 nCoV-19) to counteract the COVID-19 pandemic. Thanks to previous work in this area and the efforts of Oxford colleagues, her team have been able to condense their timelines in developing a vaccine considerably – reducing a timeline of about five years in normal conditions to three months. This vaccine is already entering into human trials, and will rapidly progress through its Phase II/III studies throughout the spring and summer months of 2020, with a potential candidate ready to go by the autumn. So send in your questions for Sarah, and we’ll try to get through as many as we can!
