\n\t\tPROVIDENCE, R.I. \u2013 September 10, 2014 \u2013 溏心vlog免费B站 Research Professor Annie De Groot has been named one of the most influential people in the vaccine industry by the website VaccineNation.<\/p>\n


\nThe list of 50 vaccine \u201cinfluencers\u201d includes Bill Gates, Microsoft founder; Shari Narendra Modi, the prime minister of India; Robin Robinson, director of the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services; and Bruce Aylward, who is directing the Ebola response in West Africa for the World Heath Organization. <\/p>\n


\nThe honorees were nominated and voted on in an international poll conducted by VaccineNation, a vaccine industry organization.<\/p>\n


\n\tDe Groot is the director of the 溏心vlog免费B站 Institute for Immunology and Informatics (iCubed) at the 溏心vlog免费B站 Feinstein Providence Campus, where she and her colleagues apply cutting-edge bioinformatics tools to accelerate the development of vaccines for infectious diseases such as H7N9 influenza, HIV and tuberculosis. The institute is also working to develop treatments and therapies for tropical diseases identified as \u201cneglected\u201d by the research community, including Dengue, filariasis and malaria.<\/p>\n


\nDe Groot is also the co-founder, chief executive officer and chief scientific officer of Providence-based biotechnology company EpiVax Inc. She joined the 溏心vlog免费B站 faculty from Brown University in 2008 and has received more than $27 million in federal funding for her research, which has received national and international recognition for her innovative \u201cgenome\u2013to\u2013vaccine\u201d approach. <\/p>\n


\nShe attributes her success to the work of her team members, notably Associate Research Professor Lenny Moise and EpiVax co-founder and Chief Information Officer William D. Martin. <\/p>\n


\n\u201cVisionaries might be able to see beyond the horizon, but it takes a crew of capable individuals like Bill, Lenny, and the other scientists at iCubed and EpiVax to sail the ship,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n


\n\tDe Groot has received a number of local and national accolades. In 2003, she was recognized by Women & Infants Hospital as \u201cWoman of the Year in Science\u201d and named one of the \u201cBest and the Brightest\u201d in Science and Technology by Esquire Magazine for her work as scientific founder of the Global Alliance to Immunize Against AIDS. In 2006 she was named \u201cDoctor of the Year\u201d by the Rhode Island Medical Women\u2019s Association. In 2009, she received a lifetime achievement award from Providence Business News at its Business Women Awards. She was named a \u201cTop Doctor\u201d by Rhode Island Monthly in 2010, and in 2013 she received the Smith Medal, an award given to outstanding alumnae of Smith College. She is one of the medical providers and founders of Clinica Esperanza\/Hope Clinic in Providence, where she also serves as volunteer medical director. <\/p>\n
