DESCRIPTION:Why do we have vaccines against some diseases but not against 
 others? Why must the current vaccine we have for influenza require updatin
 g every few years\, while a single measles vaccine can protect us for life
 ? In this talk\, Professor Gupta discusses how we have exploited the theor
 etical predictions of a model for influenza evolution to design and produc
 e a new “universal” influenza vaccine. She is a Professor of Theoretic
 al Epidemiology at the University of Oxford with an interest in infectious
  disease agents responsible for malaria\, HIV\, influenza and bacterial me
 ningitis. Professor Gupta is also an acclaimed novelist and essayist\, wit
