Overseeing the Malaghan Institute's current involvement in the cancer vaccine trials is Dr Ian Hermans, Head of the Vaccine Research group. Dr Hermans studied dendritic cell vaccinations with Prof Ronchese at the Malaghan Institute between 1995 and 2001, before taking up a position at the Tumour Immunology Unit (Weatherall Institute of Molecular Medicine), at the University of Oxford, UK. In 2005 Dr Hermans returned to the Malaghan Institute and was awarded a Sir Charles Hercus Research Fellowship from the Health Research Council of New Zealand to pursue his research into improving the potency and efficacy of vaccines against cancer, asthma and infectious disease.
