Researchers from The Pirbright Institute collaborated with the University of Oxford and the National Institutes of Health, USA, to show that S-FLU, a universal flu vaccine candidate, induces different immune responses in pigs compared to ferrets, raising the possibility that the ferrets may not...
Researchers from The Pirbright Institute, University of Bristol, Cardiff University and University of Oxford have generated tools that allow scientists to understand a vital area of the pig immune system which was previously inaccessible. The breakthrough research, described in PLOS Pathogens ,...
Scientists at The Pirbright Institute have been awarded over £300,000 to develop a faster and more efficient method for infectious bronchitis virus (IBV) vaccine production. The virus causes a poultry respiratory disease which is the most economically important infectious disease affecting chickens...
Researchers from The Pirbright Institute have examined the genetic material of foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV) samples collected from eastern and southern Africa, and discovered two novel virus groups. These new groups, termed genotypes, will help scientists to understand the genetic...
Researchers from The Pirbright Institute recently journeyed to Nigeria as part of their collaboration with Bauchi State College of Agriculture, which focuses on understanding sheeppox and goatpox in order to reduce their impact in low and middle income countries. Goat displaying clinical signs of...
We work collaboratively with stakeholders globally, including research and academic institutions, government ministries and agencies, multilateral organisations, non-government organisations (NGOs) that range from big international charities to local advocacy groups, as well as philanthropic foundations and commercial companies.
Our innovative research into viruses of farm animals and those that spread from animals to people is possible with new state-of-the-art facilities including the BBSRC National Virology and Vaccinology Centres. Find out more about our campus.
