Katie Jane Ewer is a British immunologist and Professor of Vaccine Immunology at the University of Oxford's Jenner Institute.
[4] She then began working as a biomedical scientist at the microbiology department of the John Radcliffe Hospital in 2000,[5] before pursuing a PhD on the immunology of tuberculosis (TB).
[4] Ewer earned her PhD at the Open University as a result of her research with Ajit Lalvani on novel diagnostic tools using T cells for the diagnosis of tuberculosis infection.
[5] While in this role, she co-published Diagnosis of tuberculosis in South African children with a T cell-based assay: a prospective cohort study with Susan Liebeschuetz.
[7] The aim of her research was to define vaccine-induced immunological parameters that correlate with protection from malaria and understand why vaccines do not always work as well as expected.
