Jack Saunders
Research Assistant
I completed my undergraduate degree in Biochemistry at the University of Exeter. This included a year spent working for Shell, in Houston, investigating the production of biofuels using bacterial fermentation. I then recently finished my Master's degree in Integrated Immunology at the University of Oxford, involving a research project that explored murine T-cell responses to Chlamydia trachomatis infection.
I am a Research Assistant at the Jenner Institute where my research focuses on the immune response against emerging pathogens including Crimean-Congo haemorrhagic fever virus (CCHFV) and the closely related Nairobi sheep disease virus (NSDV) in order to aid effective vaccine design.
