Summary
Adenoviruses (Ad) are important for both vaccine and oncology applications, exemplified by their widespread use during the COVID pandemic. This project will characterise and develop a new platform, Ad11 for vaccine and targeted gene therapy/virotherapy applications. Building on preliminary studies, this studentship will include vector development, basic structural biology and transcriptomic studies to assess the therapeutic potential of Ad11.
