This website is your front door to the world of Dr Edward Jenner, one of the world's greatest scientists. Each picture will take you to the relevant section of the site. Edward Jenner was born in Berkeley, England, over 250 years ago. He was the man who taught us how to use vaccines to fight disease. He used the harmless cowpox to defeat the deadly smallpox. He also had many other interests: Edward Jenner lived in a beautiful, Georgian house called The Chantry , which is now a museum to honour the memory of the man and his work. The Edward Jenner Museum houses displays about the science that Edward Jenner founded: Immunology. The old cider house is now a small conference centre. We are planning to re-develop the Chantry garden to take it back to Edward Jenner's time, around 1800. You can discover many of Edward Jenner's ancestors and descendants or learn more about Edward Jenner and his work by ordering books, videos etc from the mail order section. Teachers and students in the United Kingdom can find Jenner's links with the National Curriculum in the 'Learning Resources' section and there are even some interactive games you can download and try.
