From AIDS to TB vaccines — A career in infectious diseases and translational vaccinology

Abstract

My path toward becoming a Scientific Investigator probably began in my South London Comprehensive, following the advice of a negative maths teacher, who was of the view that I should be a housewife! This comment was like a red rag to a bull and was the final incentive I needed to work hard and get to Medical School. Ironically this was probably the best bit of career advice anyone has given me!
