Select from the following:
Dr. Christopher Fox is the Vice President of Formulations at the Infectious Disease Research Institute (IDRI) and oversees the research and development of vaccine adjuvants. With over 15 years of product development experience in adjuvants and formulations including cGMP manufacture and clinical testing, and more than 80 peer-reviewed papers, Dr. Fox has established himself as an expert in this field. He is the editor of a volume from the Springer Methods in Molecular Biology Series entitled “Vaccine Adjuvants: Methods and Protocols” published in 2017 and has served as the principal investigator of multiple grants and contracts from US government agencies and foundations. He has also directed technology transfer of adjuvant formulation manufacturing to institutes in India, Brazil, South Africa, and Romania. Dr. Fox was awarded the 2015 Pioneers in Global Health Rising Leader Award from the Washington Global Health Alliance.
