Kenneth W Beagley
Professor of Immunology, Queensland University of Technology
Traditional vaccine approaches have been unsuccessful in preventing chlamydial infections. Prof. Beagley and colleagues are researching novel DNA vaccination and bioinformatics approaches to identify protective chlamydial antigens that are conserved across several chlamydial species. Using combinations of these antigens we can reduce both the duration and magnitude of infection and reduce infection-associated inflammation that is the cause of infertility in animal models of chlamydial infection. We are now working with collaborators in the US and a major vaccine company to develop a human Chlamydia vaccine. We have also used these antigens to develop the world’s first Chlamydia vaccine for the koala. This vaccine has been shown to protect young koalas in a wild population with a high incidence of chlamydial infection and disease and has increased reproductive success in this population. The vaccine is currently undergoing registration.
Neisseria gonorrhea is another human STI and is a disease of increasing concern due to antibiotic resistance. We have established a new mouse model of Neisseria infection in male mice and have shown that infection adversely affects sperm production similar to what we find with Chlamydia infection. We are currently using this model to further investigate the effects of Neisseria infection on male fertility and for development of vaccines to prevent infections.
Prof. Beagley is a past-president of the International Society for Mucosal Immunology and is a member of the Australian and New Zealand Society for Immunology, the American Association of Immunologists, the Society for Reproductive Biology, the American Society for Reproductive Immunology, the International Society for Vaccines and the International Society for Immunology of Reproduction.

Kenny Monrose
Researcher, Department of Sociology, University of Cambridge
Kenny Monrose is a researcher at the University of Cambridge in the Department of Sociology and a Fellow of Wolfson college Cambridge. He is the lead researcher on the Black British Voices Project at Cambridge Sociology.
Kenny has many year's experience in teaching, supervising and examining undergraduate and post-graduate students in the areas of Sociology, Behavioural Sciences and Criminology and Criminal Justice.
He completed a PhD in Sociology at the University of Essex in 2013. His doctoral thesis was a qualitative study centred in East London, examining the life course of maturing black men, with a focus on criminal preclusion and non-criminal participation. The study made an original contribution to knowledge by highlighting the scholarly omission of black adult male populations within academic deliberation on 'race' and crime. The thesis highlighted the continued confinements of prejudice, discrimination, and everyday racisms in the lives of black men, whilst rigorously engaging with several related areas such as familial configuration, identities, and social position.
Kenny acted as a Research Fellow with Middlesex University in collaboration with the Mayors of London’s office for policing and crime, examining the development of specialist support services for young people who have been victims of crime, abuse and/or violence.
Dr Monrose is the author of Black men in Britain: an ethnographic portrait of the post Windrush generation. The book engages with an invisible population of Black men who grew up during 1970s and 80s post-industrial Britain, and as part of an environment that rendered them irrelevant and indistinguishable.
He is an affiliate at The Centre for Screen & Film within the Faculty of Modern & Medieval Languages & Linguistics, and a member of Centre for the study of Global Human Movement at the University of Cambridge.
