Biography

I have set up JKSBioscience Limited which has worked with the UK government on vaccinology issues. Most notably a report was produced for the UK Vaccine R&D network (funded by the Department of Health and Medical Research Council) on emergent epidemic/pandemic threats. Most of these have a zoonotic origin and many have a strong economic impact on livestock production or animal rearing.
