Professor Teresa Lambe OBE FMedSci
Teresa Lambe, Calleva Head of Vaccine Immunology at the University of Oxford, focuses on improving human health through vaccination, stopping epidemics before they become pandemics. She co-designed the Oxford/AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine, led the preclinical studies and oversaw the delivery of the immune results needed to support regulatory approval. In 2014, she played a critical role in the global response to the Ebola outbreak in West Africa, establishing a rapid, non-invasive diagnostic test and overseeing the assessment of immune responses toward Ebolavirus in real-time, facilitating assessment of candidate vaccines. Professor Lambe continues to progress vaccines against outbreak pathogens working with a number of global partners; the WHO, Moderna, BioNTech, AstraZeneca, and CEPI.
