After completing her postgraduate training in infectious disease-based immunology at the University of Otago and Malaghan Institute, Dr Kirman was awarded a Fogarty Fellowship to pursue her work in vaccine development at the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, USA. Dr Kirman returned to the Malaghan Institute in July 2002 to lead the Infectious Diseases group as a Sir Charles Hercus Research Fellow, supported by the Health Research Council of NZ. The overall aim of Dr Kirman's current research is to reduce the incidence of infectious disease in New Zealand through the development and implementation of vaccines.
