What can childhood fossil hunts, human genetics and a century-old vaccine have in common? For SRAP board member Dr Miguel A. Berrocal Rubio, they are all part of a scientific career shaped by curiosity and a willingness to explore new questions.
In a recent interview published by the University of Melbourne, Miguel discusses his current research at the Murdoch Children’s Research Institute, where he is investigating the unexpected protective effects of vaccines beyond the diseases they were originally designed to prevent.
The interview also reflects on his journey from Spain to Australia, the importance of friendships and collaboration in science, and the value of bringing different cultural and scientific perspectives together. Miguel also shares a message that is especially relevant today: researchers must remain rigorous, accurate and true to what the evidence tells us.
At SRAP, we are delighted to see our members contributing to important research and sharing the personal journeys behind their work.
