We are delighted that Pustules, Palaeogenetics and Pandemics from Galen to Rhazes: How to do the Early History of Smallpox and Measles has been awarded a £2.36 million Wellcome Discovery Award, and will run from 2026 – 2030.
University of Exeter’s news article ‘Exeter scholars secure significant research funding to investigate the early history of Smallpox and Measles‘, and ‘Pustules, Palaeogenetics and Pandemics from Galen to Rhazes: How to do the Early History of Smallpox and Measles’ from the STAMP Research Centre describe our project and explore our research aims in more depth.
