Working with this supervisor

Alyson A Kelvin is an Associate Professor at the University of Calgary and a virologist and vaccinologist working on emerging respiratory viruses. She completed her HBSc at Western University (London, Canada, 2003) and her PhD at Queen’s University (Belfast, Northern Ireland, 2007). Dr. Kelvin’s expertise is in the fields of virology and vaccinology specifically focusing on the development of broadly protective vaccines for emerging viruses.
