Saving Lives, Supporting Growth: Vaccines, Sepsis, and Transitional Care (ISL supported)

Sepsis is a silent killer. Learn how a simple infection can trigger chaos in the body—and how science, speed, and awareness can save lives.

Children respond very differently to infections than adults do – it’s why children get more tummy bugs and sniffles than adults. My work focuses on improving childhood vaccines by better understanding children’s immune systems. Improving vaccine responses so that children get full protection against infections earlier, and don’t need as many booster vaccinations, could have a huge impact on global health.
