Philip ToyePhilip Toye is currently a Principal Scientist at the International Livestock Research Institute (ILRI), Nairobi. His research background is in the immunology and molecular biology of infectious diseases, and he has worked primarily on East Coast fever for over 20 years. His research has focused on the development of vaccines and diagnostic assays, including work aimed at elucidating the composition of the Muguga cocktail, the immune response it stimulates and its commercialisation. This has been extended more recently into the interaction between host genetic background and response to pathogens, in particular the resistance of cattle to disease caused by T. parva. He graduated with a degree in Veterinary Science from the University of Queensland, Australia. He completed a PhD in immunoparasitology from the University of Adelaide, followed by a postdoctoral appointment to the Harvard Medical School. Read More Read Less
