This fellowship is to support Professor Stephen Kent in generating new advances in vaccines to prevent HIV (the cause of AIDS) and Influenza (“The Flu”). HIV causes over 1.5 million deaths per year and no vaccine is currently available. Influenza causes around half a million deaths per year. Although the current Influenza vaccine is partially effective, improvements are needed for it to be able to protect against the many different strains of Influenza that can cause infection.

该奖学金旨在支持斯蒂芬·肯特教授在预防艾滋病毒(艾滋病的起因)和流感(流感)的疫苗方面取得新的进展。艾滋病毒每年导致150多万人死亡，目前还没有疫苗可用。流感每年导致约50万人死亡。尽管目前的流感疫苗部分有效，但需要改进，使其能够预防可能导致感染的许多不同的流感毒株。
