Professor Dame Sarah Gilbert joined the Nuffield Department of Medicine at Oxford University in 1994. In 2005, she became part of the Jenner Institute, focusing her research on the development of viral vectored vaccines. Her work involves inducing strong and protective T and B cell responses to combat infectious diseases. She leads projects on influenza vaccine development and vaccines for emerging pathogens such as Nipah virus, MERS, and Lassa virus. Her efforts also include the rapid transfer of vaccines into GMP manufacturing and initial human trials, collaborating with the Clinical Biomanufacturing Facility and the Centre for Clinical Vaccinology and Tropical Medicine at Oxford.
In 2020, Professor Gilbert took on the role of Oxford Project Leader for ChAdOx1 nCoV-19, a vaccine designed to combat the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus. This vaccine underwent clinical trials with over 23,000 participants across the UK, Brazil, and South Africa. Following its successful development and trials, it has been deployed globally as a critical tool in managing the Covid-19 Pandemic. For her contributions to science and public health, she was honored with the Dame Commander of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire (DBE).
Her career has been marked by a commitment to addressing global health challenges through vaccine innovation. This dedication enabled the accelerated development of a COVID-19 vaccine, demonstrating the impact of focused research and collaborative efforts in times of urgent public health need. Her expertise in vaccinology has made substantial contributions to the field of infectious disease prevention.
