Dr Michelle Groome is currently the Head of the Division of Public Health Surveillance and Response at the National Institute for Communicable Diseases. She has more than 15 years’ experience in the field of infectious diseases and vaccinology, including conduct of clinical vaccine trials, respiratory and diarrhoeal disease surveillance programmes and observational studies assessing vaccine impact, effectiveness, immunogenicity, and safety in South Africa. She qualified as a medical doctor at the University of the Witwatersrand and has a Diploma in Child Health. She obtained a Master of Science in Medicine (Epidemiology and Biostatistics) and a PhD in Public Health from the University of the Witwatersrand. Michelle holds a joint appointment as Senior Researcher, School of Pathology, Faculty of Health Sciences, University of the Witwatersrand, where she lectures and supervises post-graduate students. She previously led the diarrhoeal disease portfolio at the SAMRC: Respiratory and Meningeal Pathogens Research Unit. Important public health contributions include providing the first rotavirus vaccine effectiveness data from Africa which was pivotal to inform public health decisions and provide evidence for sustained use of this vaccine in low and middle-income countries and evaluating safety and immunogenicity of a novel injectable subunit rotavirus vaccine in South Africa. Dr Groome has over 70 publications in local and international peer-reviewed journals and is a regular presenter at local and international conferences. She has received several awards including the Emerging Global Leader Award from the Fogarty International Center, National Institutes of Health (2016), and the South African Medical Research Council Scientific Merit Award (2017).

Africa. As a researcher, Ziyaad completed his doctoral thesis on the clinical and immunological epidemiology of Group B Streptococcus disease at the Respiratory and Meningeal Pathogens Research Unit (now VIDA). In addition, his research interests include childhood TB and sequelae of lung disease in young infants. Ziyaad have undertaken investigator-initiated, original research using a range of clinical, epidemiological, and laboratory-based research techniques to establish a successful research output, including the publication of cited papers in high-impact factor journals in the field. Ziyaad is actively involved in undergraduate and postgraduate teaching at the University of Witwatersrand. He serves on the executive committee of the South African Paediatric Association and is an examiner in the College of Paediatricians of South Africa.

David Moore is an Associate Professor in Paediatric Infectious Diseases, based at the Chris Hani Baragwanath Academic Hospital in Johannesburg, South Africa. He obtained Masters and Doctoral degrees through his affiliation with Wits VIDA, under the supervision of Prof Shabir Madhi. His main research interests include the epidemiology, risk factors for and aetiology of childhood pneumonia, diagnosis of paediatric infectious diseases, biomarker responses to paediatric infections as a guide for rational antibiotic prescribing, antimicrobial stewardship, and epidemiology of paediatric vaccine-preventable diseases. Childhood HIV, tuberculosis and COVID are additional research interests. His short-term goals include consolidation of skills in data analysis using innovative analytic approaches, including machine learning and Bayesian techniques, to paediatric infectious disease diagnosis and management. He aims to gain independence in his research trajectory focussing predominantly on paediatric pneumonia, with particular emphasis on disease burden, establishing novel diagnostic approaches, establishing best practice in terms of management strategies, and optimising antibiotic stewardship practice in the arena of clinical paediatrics.

ALIVE was selected as the flagship entity for the University of the Witwatersrand in 2016, and aims to create African expertise and leadership in vaccinology training, research and advocacy. She has established and coordinates the MSc(Med) in the field of vaccinology at Wits, and the 10-day African advanced vaccinology short course. Prior to her appointment in ALIVE (Nov 2018), she was a research medical officer and subsequently the deputy director of the Respiratory and Meningeal Pathogens Research Unit (RMPRU, now Wits-VIDA), based at Chris Hani Baragwanath Academic Hospital (CHBAH), Soweto, South Africa (2000-2018). She was an investigator on numerous phase I, II and III paediatric and maternal vaccine trials and principal investigator on a phase II paediatric measles vaccine trial, a phase III quadrivalent influenza vaccine trial in children and a phase III maternal influenza immunization trial in HIV-positive women. Clare Cutland was the clinical lead for several large grant-funded neonatal sepsis prevention (PoPS, sepsis surveillance) and maternal immunization studies (influenza, Streptococcus agalactiae / Group B streptococcus sero-correlate of protection) and an investigator on numerous maternal immunization trials (GBS, RSV), and has published on challenges and lessons learnt in maternal immunization trials. She is national coordinator for the Oxford-AZ COVID-19 vaccine trial in South Africa (April 2020 – current), and is a sub-investigator on Oxford-Astra Zeneca- and Novavax COVID-19 vaccine trials She was involved in the GAIA Brighton collaboration definition working groups (2014-2016), and was elected as a member of the scientific board of the Brighton collaboration in 2018 (to present). She is a member of the Wits Institutional biosafety committee and working group for maternal COVID-19 vaccines. Clare is author or co-author on over 117 peer-reviewed journal articles.

Jeanine du Plessis is one of our scientists who started at Wits VIDA as a junior scientist with an honours degree.Now – through #COVID19 – she was given a master’s project looking at the sequencing of the SARC-CoV-2 genome in healthcare workers, which is a really important piece of work.“I tested positive for COVID-19 on 2 October 2020 and I actually got incredibly sick as a result of it. But when I came back to work it made my fight against Corona that much stronger. Everything with respect to my workflow, my time management, everything became faster to fight for that result to find the new variant.Even though several Covid-19 vaccines have been developed and approved for use, medical scientists continue to research Covid-19, its strains, and how vaccines respond to different conditions.For scientists, the road ahead is long. No one is safe, until we are all safe.Watch this third video of our series bit.ly/3ojmpcS@FCDOGovUK Wits Faculty of Health Sciences #medicalresearch#COVID19#YesVaccinesWits - University of the Witwatersrand University of Oxford ...
