DESCRIPTION:Why do we have vaccines against some diseases but 
 not against others? Why must the current vaccine w
 e have for influenza require updating every few ye
 ars\, while a single measles vaccine can protect u
 s for life? In this talk\, Professor Gupta discuss
 es how we have exploited the theoretical predictio
 ns of a model for influenza evolution to design an
 d produce a new “universal” influenza vaccine. She
  is a Professor of Theoretical Epidemiology at the
  University of Oxford with an interest in infectio
 us disease agents responsible for malaria\, HIV\, 
 influenza and bacterial meningitis. Professor Gupt
 a is also an acclaimed novelist and essayist\, wit
 h her fifth novel\, So Good in Black\, was longlis
 ted for the DSC Prize for South Asian Literature.
