Adrian Hill

Adrian Hill moved from Trinity College, Dublin to Magdalen as an undergraduate in 1978, for just a year, but rather liked Oxford and is still around. He read medicine and then undertook a DPhil in molecular medicine focused on the genetics of Pacific Islanders. He joined the then new Weatherall Institute of Molecular Medicine as a Wellcome Senior Fellow in 1988 and began work on immunogenetics in West Africa that led to his current interest in malaria vaccine design and development.
