Professor Sheena McCormack is a Clinical Epidemiologist who has worked on HIV vaccine, microbicide and PrEP trials since 1994. She is a Senior Clinical Scientist at the MRC Clinical Trials Unit at UCL, was awarded a Chair at Imperial College in 2012, and at University College London in 2017. Her clinical attachment is to 56 Dean Street, a sexual health clinic in Soho.
She led the PROUD PrEP study conducted in MSM attending sexual health clinics in England, which reported early due to unexpectedly high incidence in those without access to PrEP and an 86% reduction in those with access to PrEP. Since then she has focused on access for all who need PrEP in the UK and more broadly in Europe. She is currently involved in a large PrEP trial in England, an Internet trial of self-testing, prophylactic and therapeutic vaccine trials in Europe and Sub-Saharan Africa and COVID-19 vaccine trials.
