Infection studies
Wellcome Collection
10 Oct 2024 | 07:00 PM
Join Claudia Hammond and a panel of scientists and experts as they discuss human infection studies.
The studies, or clinical trials, involve deliberately exposing volunteers to infectious diseases under carefully controlled conditions. They have the power to rapidly accelerate the development of much-needed vaccines and treatments for diseases such as malaria, typhoid, influenza, dengue and Covid-19.
Claudia will present the evening and interview the speakers. Then the audience will have the chance to ask questions afterwards. You can participate or just listen in.
The event will be recorded live with an audience and edited into a programme to be broadcast on the BBC World Service as part of ‘The Evidence’ series. After broadcast, episodes of ’The Evidence’ will be available on the BBC website.
