How clean is a clean room? Human vaccine manufacture
Vaccines, like any medicinal product, need to be manufactured at the highest standard before they are allowed to be tested in humans. Achieving such standards take time, money and careful planning. In this episode we discuss the stringent processes that take a vaccine from a preclinical stage to the clinic ready for vaccination in human...

Our Research – Amputee phantom pain linked to brain retaining picture of missing limb
Changes in the brain following amputation have been linked to pain arising from the missing limb, called ‘phantom pain’, in a brain imaging study from the FMRIB Centre’s Plasticity Group. Arm amputees experiencing the most ‘phantom limb’ pain were found to maintain stronger representation of the missing hand in the brain. It’s hoped...

This fascinating series of podcasts highlight the work of Oxford scientists and clinicians to understand the underlying factors of lifestyle and metabolism, molecular and genetic...
Medical science needs you! Human clinical trials
Testing novel vaccines in humans is the first step on a long route to licensure. Clinical trials are long, expensive but essential procedures designed to confirm both a vaccines safety but also its effectiveness. Here we discuss clinical trial design and the important role of clinical trial volunteers with an overview of what volunteering for a...
