Jack Tan
DPhil, BSc (Hons)
Senior Postdoctoral Scientist
I am a postdoctoral scientist in Alain Townsend lab at the Weatherall Institute of Molecular Medicine on developing next generation nanoparticle vaccines mainly against infectious diseases. I am currently a Project Manager and Senior Postdoctoral Scientist on a CEPI-funded project involving the development of a pan-sarbecovirus (SARS-like betacoronaviruses) vaccine. I am also trying to understand the antibody responses post infection or vaccination to help design better vaccines. I am also a Fellow by Special Election at St Edmund Hall.
