Dr. Myron M. Levine Director of the Center for Vaccine Development at the University of Maryland School Of Medicine gives the 2011 McAuley Oration.
Dr. Levine’s clinical research has involved studies of pathogenesis and the assessment of a variety of vaccines in adults and children in Maryland, as well as in many developing countries. He designed, arranged and supervised the performance of several large-scale, randomized, controlled field trials investigating the efficacy of live oral typhoid vaccines (which led to licensure of Ty21a by the FDA) and a vaccine to prevent invasive disease caused by Haemophilus influenzae type b. He is the recipient of the Albert B. Sabin Gold Medal Award for lifetime achievement in the area of vaccine development and implementation.
Held November 7, 2011.
