PhD student Andrew Highton has won a prestigious Nuffield post-doctoral fellowship to Oxford University.
The Nuffield Dominions Trust at Oxford awards this post-doctoral fellowship every two years to one New Zealander, either a clinician or a scientist.
Andrew is currently studying in Ros Kemp’s lab, and will relocate to England next year to continue his research in immunology. He will focus on the induction of some virus-specific memory T cells, which are the cells responsible for the function of vaccines.
