The VALIDATE Network aims to promote vaccine research and development for complex intracellular pathogens that cause diseases significant to low and middle-income countries, with an initial focus on Mycobacterium tuberculosis (TB), Mycobacterium leprae (leprosy), Leishmania spp (leishmaniasis) and Burkholderia pseudomallei (melioidosis).

My role is to ensure that VALIDATE maximises outputs and lessons learned from the immunology and vaccine-related data available from its collaborating members around the world. I engage directly with the Network researchers to analyse the data being generated. I am responsible for setting up the VALIDATE data sharing portal and integrating data sets for cross-pathogen, cross-species and/or cross-country analyses to find synergies and differences, generating new findings and peer-reviewed journal publications.

BioVacSafe Project – Analysed large-scale multidimensional transcriptomics data using statistical methods and identified novel signatures of vaccine safety and reactogenicity. Closely worked with bench scientists to provide bioinformatic support and design analytical approaches for the data processing with a wide industrial and practical applicability, including for clinical trials.
