In this episode, Sam sits down with Jake Baum to explore what he calls disruptive vaccinology - a bold, systems-level rethink of how we approach vaccines for complex diseases like malaria.

Inspired by this episode? Here’s how to connect.

You can find out more about Jake’s work by visiting his lab’s website ⁠(https://www.baumlab.com)⁠ and the global health burden of malaria through the WHO world malaria report (https://www.who.int/teams/global-malaria-programme/reports/world-malaria-report-2024).Speaking of which, after the recording, Jake let us know he made a small slip. A child dies from malaria every minute or so, not every second. Although, as he put it, we should work like it is every second!
