Happy Birthday to us! 🎉
The University of Glasgow is 575 years old today. We have been changing the world since 1451!
This year we will be celebrating the centuries of impact of UofG, while looking towards to the future, with our #TeamUofG community around the world.
#UofG575
Thank you!
A day well spent @wellcometrust.bsky.social where #BasicScience we, final year PhDs, spent the day networking and learning about possible career and funding opportunities post PhD.

Grateful to see our work featured by @gavi.org. We highlight how we can set up smarter vaccine supply chains in the quest to eliminate human rabies.

The FPH published a call to action ahead of the Scottish Parliamentary election calling for:
1. Health in all polices
2. Wellbeing economy
3. The best start to life
4. Improve places and communities
5. Safeguard our climate
6. Tackle CDoH
7. Shift toward prevention

4️⃣ We explore how rabies vaccines could integrate into routine immunisation (e.g., EPI) and define optimal alert thresholds & restocking volumes to help policymakers improve supply chain planning.
3️⃣ Decentralizing vaccines enhances access but can strain resources & increase vial use. Balancing accessibility with efficiency is key.
2️⃣ Switching to intradermal (ID) administration can cut vial use by 55% while also reducing stockout risks during demand surges. That's supply chain resilience!
Using data from Tanzania & comparative insights from Kenya, we find that:
1️⃣ Rabies PEP demand is highly unpredictable—some districts experience surges >10x the monthly average! Unlike routine vaccines, supply chains must be resilient to these fluctuations.
Excited to share our latest preprint (download.ssrn.com/jvac/8c1bdb6...) on optimising human rabies vaccine supply chains! As Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance, invests in rabies PEP, it’s crucial to rethink how these emergency vaccines can reach those in need efficiently.
