Stephanie Harris

Clinical Trials Research Associate

I obtained a BSc (Hons) in Biology from the University of Bath in 2006 and have been a member of Helen McShane's Tuberculosis research group at the Jenner Institute since 2009.

 

My main role is managing the laboratory side of the tuberculosis clinical trials and SARS-CoV-2 challenge studies; preparing for new trials, processing samples from trial volunteers and carrying out immunological assays to assess the response to candidate vaccines and infections. Current TB trials include investigating the immune response to aerosol BCG and development of controlled human infection models for assessing TB vaccine candidates. SARS-CoV-2 challenge studies are ongoing to establish a working model to test vaccines and therapeutics and to better understand the immune response to SARS-CoV-2 infection.

 

I also work on exploratory projects within the group and co-supervise students and new starters on getting set up and learning laboratory techniques.
