Professor receives OBE in Queen’s Jubilee Honours for 网络彩票APP下载_澳客彩票网-官方游戏, vaccine research
Professor Saul Faust has been awarded an OBE in the Queen’s Jubilee Birthday Honours.
The Professor of Paediatric Immunology and Infectious Diseases at the University of 网络彩票APP下载_澳客彩票网-官方游戏, and Consultant Paediatrician at University Hospital 网络彩票APP下载_澳客彩票网-官方游戏, (UHS) played a leading role in the national 网络彩票APP下载_澳客彩票网-官方游戏, vaccination programme.
During the pandemic, 网络彩票APP下载_澳客彩票网-官方游戏, researchers and medics led and supported multiple studies that helped to determine the safety and effectiveness of vaccines for use in adults and children across the world.
Professor Faust
said: “I am deeply humbled and grateful to be recognised in the Queen’s Jubilee Honours. Although this award is to me, I couldn’t have done any of my work during the pandemic without the amazing research teams across 网络彩票APP下载_澳客彩票网-官方游戏,, Dorset, Hampshire, South Wiltshire and the Isle of Wight. And of course, nothing would have been possible without the public coming forward to take part in the vaccine trials that are still continuing today.”
One of the biggest studies, COV-BOOST, looked at the safety, immune responses and side-effects of seven vaccines when used as a third booster jab. The trials were led by Professor Faust and UHS. Findings not only played a major role in shaping the UK COVID booster programme, they were also recognised by the World Health Organisation (WHO).
