In our first episode of 2025, our hosts, Chris Williams and Dave Thompson, have the pleasure of speaking to Fernando Garces, CEO and co-founder of BioGlyph. Leading us from the sunny climes of Portugal through the tropical paradise that is London, on route to the West Coast of the US and A, Fernando shares his evolving love of science through the heights of academia, into industry, and now as CEO of a software company he co-founded to improve the modeling of complex multispecifics. Important questions are unpacked throughout - is London really a tropical paradise? How long can we keep milking podcast episode titles that take advantage of the homophonic property of pharma and farm? Oh, and we have another surprising guest answer to the ‘Deschênes Dilemma'… It is not to quote G. K. Chesterton, a proper nailbiter!

Significant progress has been made in producing drugs that can help the 26 million people across Africa living with HIV. But access is still difficult, so how can advances in HIV-treatment and research sustainably benefit patients? Eddy Micah Jr talks to Alfred Besa, an expert on HIV/AIDS and a consultant with Humana People to People, and Anna Engomba.
The nature of HIV has made it difficult to develop a vaccine against the virus.

It's considered one of the most important and most difficult scientific enterprises in the history of modern medicine—the hunt for an HIV vaccine. It has led to vast knowledge of HIV and the immune system, and to breakthrough technology. But developing an effective HIV vaccine is still out of reach, while HIV incidence remains high in hard-hit places in the world. In this episode, Nina Russell of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation talks about where she sees promise in the science, the goals for an HIV vaccine, and why it has an essential role to play alongside the scale-up of PrEP.

With the failure of the PrEPVacc trial in Southern and Eastern Africa, HIV researchers are concerned that an HIV vaccine will not be developed before 2030 at the earliest. Claudia Hammond is joined by Matt Fox, Professor of Global Health Epidemiology at Boston University, to discuss the latest news about HIV vaccines, funding and treatment from around the world.We also hear about Super 5, a home-grown nutritional supplement being made by rural women in Rajasthan, in India, to address the problem of child undernutrition and malnutrition.Claudia also speaks to Dr Rašads Misirovs to talk about sneezing. In a rare case, a patient of Dr Misirovs in Scotland tore a hole in their windpipe by stifling a sneeze. We learn more about why we sneeze as well as how to prevent injury when doing so. Claudia and Matt also discuss how deaths from work-related illnesses are increasing, and concerns over the huge increase in calls to poison centres in the US because of accidental overdoses of injected weight-loss drugs.Presenter: Claudia Hammond Producer: Jonathan Blackwell

The South African Medical Research Council has been awarded a multi-million rand grant to test and develop a novel HIV vaccines in Africa. The U.S. Agency for International Development, USAID has invested approximately 867-million-Rand for a trial of a preventive HIV vaccine. The clinical trial has begun candidate enrollment in the United States and South Africa. The announcement comes at a time the world is embarking on a fast-track strategy to end the AIDS epidemic by 2030. Our Senior Producer Ronald Phiri spoke to the President and CEO of the South African Medical Research Council, Professor Glenda Gray about what the multi-million rand grant means for the fight against HIV?
After the COVID vaccine rolled out less than a year after the pandemic was first announced, we wondered about progress on a similar front: how close are we to creating an HIV vaccine? What do scientists know about HIV? And what did COVID teach us about immunization? Dr. Amelia Escolano is an assistant professor at the Wistar Institute in Philadelphia. She talks about the intricacies of the HIV virus and what goes into developing an HIV vaccine.

In this Pride encore presentation of Capehart recorded for Washington Post Live on Feb. 22, Demetre Daskalakis, a career HIV specialist and advocate currently serving as the deputy coordinator for the White House National Mpox Response, discusses the search for an HIV vaccine, the role stigma plays in viruses propagating and whether eradicating HIV is possible in the near future.
With several large HIV vaccine trials in the last few years finding no efficacy, the field is in transition. There are diverse ideas in vaccine research, but there's no clear concept that's ready to test in a late-phase trial or move toward product development currently. Researchers are back to testing new ideas in early-phase research. In this episode of our Px Pulse podcast, Dr. Katy Stephenson explores the implications of recent trial results, the big questions driving next-generation vaccine development, and new strategies underway in early-phase research. Katy is a doctor, a researcher, a professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School, affiliated with Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, and part of the Center for Virology and Vaccine Research.

Moderna has announced that Human clinical trials have started for an experimental HIV vaccine that uses the same kind of mRNA technology found in Moderna's successful COVID-19 vaccine. The company said the first vaccinations were given last Thursday, at George Washington University School of Medicine and Health Sciences in Washington, DC. They said the vaccine was designed to prompt white blood cells to turn into antibodies that could neutralise HIV.

An HIV diagnosis is a nightmare, but it is no longer a death sentence. Someday, vaccines might bat the virus out of your system without you ever knowing you'd been exposed. If successful, such a vaccine would effectively cure AIDS. Someday, maybe. So scientists are working on it. Like yesterday: Researchers published results to a promising study on primates infected with SIV, a monkey version of HIV.
