Development of vaccines for the prevention of Hepatitis C
Professor Heidi Drummer is Program Director for Disease Elimination at the Burnet Institute in Melbourne, Australia. She was awarded her PhD degree in 1993 and has worked across diverse animal and human viruses. For the last 20 years, her work has focussed on developing candidate antigens for Hepatitis C vaccines and she has investigated the use of protein, virus-like particle, mRNA and viral vectored vaccines for HCV with an aim of developing a universal prophylactic vaccine to prevent HCV that generates humoral and cellular immune responses
