Immunisation Coalition Board Member

Gary Grohmann is former Director of Immunobiology and WHO ERL at the TGA.  He currently works as an independent consultant, primarily with the WHO on influenza related projects in the Global Influenza Programme and the Essential Medicines Programme.

Dr. Grohmann has served on several WHO steering committees including the committee for the review of the IVTM database on influenza viruses and reassortant influenza viruses, and the WHO VCM committee that recommends virus strains for influenza vaccines (until 2015).

His primary interests are in vaccines, vaccine regulation, medical and veterinary virology, and infectious diseases resulting from contaminated food and water as well as other environmental sources.

Gary speaks regularly on these topics for organisations around the globe.  We highly recommend listening to Gary speak as his talks are always insightful and engaging.
