Immunology and Vaccines

Several groups in Edinburgh addressing are how pathogens evade immune attack and how they can modulate and modify host immunity to their own advantage. There are also a number of researchers investigating the modes of immune responsiveness most effective at resolving infection, and how molecular vaccines can be used in human and animal health to stimulate protective immunity.

Andy Murray

 Former professional tennis player and coach

I am a Scottish former professional tennis player, a three-time Grand Slam singles champion (two Wimbledon, one US Open), two-time Olympic gold medalist, and former world No. 1. I turned professional in 2005, and became Britain's most successful male player of the Open era and ending 77 years of British heartbreak by winning the Wimbledon Men's Singles title in 2013.
