John Humphrey Seminar Series – Immunology & Infectious Diseases

Professor Wendy Barclay, Chair in Influenza Virology, Faculty of Medicine, Imperial College London

“Understanding the origins of Influenza pandemics”

Thursday 26 January 2017 at 1 pm

Lecture Theatre III, Wolfson Centre, Hammersmith Campus. This lecture will also be streamed to meeting room 368, Faculty of Medicine Building, St Mary’s Campus, and South Ken SAF G70.

Prof Barclay is an expert in the field of respiratory viruses, in particular influenza virus. Her studies aim to understand the molecular and cellular basis of the pathogenesis, host range restrictions and transmissibility of influenza viruses. The approach includes the generation of recombinant viruses with defined mutations. This strategy has contributed to the production of novel influenza pandemic vaccines.
