Human Challenge Studies workshop

This workshop, held jointly with Wellcome and the MRC-funded Human Infection Challenge vaccine network, brought together experts from across the life sciences ecosystem including academia, industry, and the wider regulatory sector to discuss how to develop the environment to carry out human challenge studies in the UK.

Following on from the Academy's 2005 report, attendees considered the existing regulation of human challenge study agents, and procedures to ensure the safety of volunteers that participate in studies. Presentations from the workshop are available to download on the right hand side of this page.
