SEQIRUS YOUNG SCIENTIST AWARD

Seqirus has partnered with the ESWI, a collection of influenza scientists and stakeholder organisations aiming to reduce the burden of influenza, in supporting the research of emerging scientists in the field of vaccines. Jointly, we are seeking forward thinking and curiosity-driven PhD students who embody the notion of collaboration in their scientific research.

The ESWI YSI Award presents a fantastic opportunity to provide financial and networking opportunities to further their careers and was presented in its second year to Dr. Nicholas Wu, an Assistant Professor at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, for his innovative research in vaccine development which focuses on virus evolution and antibody response, using a highly multidisciplinary approach, involving molecular biology, biochemistry, virology, immunology, bioinformatics, and structural biology.
