The University of Oxford has secured a critical professorship in vaccinology for the future following a gift of £3.33 million from the Saïd family. The gift will enable Professor Sarah Gilbert, the inaugural post holder, to continue her ground-breaking research in the field, while also helping to ensure that Oxford remains at the forefront of vaccine development for generations to come.
