Select from the following:
Corey Casper is the President and Chief Executive Officer at the Access to Advanced Health Institute (AAHI), where he oversees the invention, development and manufacturing of technologies for global health including immune-enhancing adjuvant formulations and novel RNA vaccines for infectious disease prevention and cancer immunotherapy.
Dr. Casper received his medical degree from Cornell University, completed an Internal Medicine Residency at UCSF and Infectious Disease Fellowship at the University of Washington (UW), where he also received a Masters of Public Health.
He studies the relationship between infectious diseases, immunity and cancer. He authored >125 peer-reviewed publications, built a comprehensive cancer center in Uganda and the first RNA vaccine manufacturing facilities in Africa (Cape Town). Key scientific contributions include developing clinical diagnostic assays for tumor viruses, completion of Phase 1-3 vaccine trials, and leadership of international immunotherapy licensure trials.
He is a Clinical Professor at UW (Medicine and Global Health) and an Affiliate Professor at the Fred Hutch Cancer Center, where he sees patients with infectious diseases and cancer.
