The Oxford Vaccine Group is a vaccine design, development, clinical trials and laboratory evaluation research group in the Department of Paediatrics of the University of Oxford. The Oxford Vaccine Group conducts studies of new and improved vaccines for children and adults and provides a base for over 100 vaccine researchers working on the epidemiology of vaccine-preventable diseases, laboratory evaluation of vaccines, statistical methods, and clinical trials of vaccines.

The University of Oxford’s partnership with FEND is led by Dr. Rinn Song, a Clinician-Scientist in the Department of Paediatrics at the University of Oxford. Dr. Song completed his training in pediatrics, pediatric infectious diseases, applied epidemiology, public health, and immunology of infectious diseases. He and his team will work with the Clinical Support Core on the clinical conduct, focusing on the pediatric component and the proposed diagnostics.
