Professor Catherine Green is a world-leading vaccinologist whose work defined one of the most critical public health interventions in modern history. As a senior clinical scientist at the University of Oxford, she played a pivotal role in the development of the Oxford-AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine, translating decades of specialized research into a rapid global response under unprecedented pressure.

What distinguishes Catherine is her commitment to scientific rigour over visibility. Her perspective is forged in the meticulous, often invisible work of biotechnology: clinical trials, regulatory scrutiny, and the disciplined uncertainty that underpins credible evidence. She understands that medical innovation progresses through iteration and transparency, arguing that public trust in expertise depends as much on humility as it does on technical speed.

On stage, Catherine is a calm, authoritative, and a very engaging keynote speaker. She deconstructs how evidence-based decision-making functions when the stakes are highest, cutting through misinformation to offer a measured perspective on global health security. Her insights are essential for leaders navigating innovation, risk assessment, and the responsibilities of science in a fractured world.
