Brian Angus

Professor Brian Angus is a Professor at the University of Oxford's Nuffield Department of Clinical Medicine (NDM), serving as Director of the Oxford Centre for Clinical Tropical Medicine and Global Health and holding an honorary Senior Clinical Scientist title at the MRC CTU. He is also a Fellow of Worcester College and Clinical Tutor in Medicine.

His educational credentials include:

• Bachelor of Science (BSc)
• MBChB (Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery)
• Diploma in Tropical Medicine and Hygiene (DTM&H)
• Fellowship of the Royal College of Physicians (FRCP)
• Doctor of Medicine (MD)
• Fellowship in Tropical Medicine (FFTM)

Angus's research centers on infectious disease clinical trials and vaccine development, with primary focus on malaria, HIV, influenza, enteric fever, and mpox. His work bridges pharmacokinetics in severe infections (originally studied in Thailand and Ghana) to contemporary vaccine trials, emphasizing global health applications. Recent work includes pivotal contributions to R21 malaria vaccine development and mpox therapeutics.

Publication trends reveal concentrated expertise in vaccine immunology and antiviral pharmacology, particularly malaria (R21/Matrix-M trials), mpox (tecovirimat kinetics and T-cell responses), and SARS-CoV-2 biomarker validation. These studies consistently feature multinational collaborations and controlled human infection models.

As Director of the Oxford Centre for Clinical Tropical Medicine and Global Health, Angus leads a multidisciplinary team within the NDM Centre for Global Health Research, driving translational research from bench to endemic regions through partnerships across Africa, Asia, and Europe.
