How Bath research is improving TB vaccines

The world is facing a major challenge in producing and supplying enough safe and nutritious food for a growing global population. Vaccination plays a major role in combating this crisis by improving animal health and thereby food security. This podcast from Dr Jean van Den Elsen looks at how our research is improving vaccination against Mycobacterium tuberculosis (TB). We're developing a unique adjuvant protein with the potential to provide easier delivery, increased safety and more accessible vaccination programmes. The technology we have developed is applicable for vaccines against other infectious diseases and could help address needs in areas including autoimmune disease and cancer.
