Accelerate scientific innovation with Catherine Green, speaker and vaccine development expert. Catherine works with organisations to enhance biomanufacturing capabilities and crisis preparedness, delivering OBE-recognised expertise behind the Oxford AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine.


Professor Catherine Green OBE is a leading scientist whose work has been central to the development and manufacture of vaccines, including the Oxford AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine. As Head of the Clinical Biomanufacturing Facility at the University of Oxford and Associate Professor in Chromosome Dynamics at the Wellcome Centre for Human Genetics, she works at the intersection of laboratory research, biotechnology, and real-world application.
At Oxford, Catherine leads the Clinical Biomanufacturing Facility, where her team translates laboratory discoveries into medical products suitable for clinical trials. During the pandemic, this work played a crucial role in the rapid production and testing of the Oxford AstraZeneca vaccine, shortening the pathway from laboratory to clinical use. Beyond vaccine development, she has secured funding to expand the facility’s capacity, ensuring future readiness for new medical innovations.
She was awarded an OBE for services to Science and Public Health and, together with her colleagues, received major accolades including the Royal Society Copley Medal and the Pride of Britain Award. Catherine is also co-author of the Sunday Times bestseller Vaxxers, written with Professor Dame Sarah Gilbert, which offers an accessible account of their work and the reality of modern science.

No. PepTalk adds no booking fee, so you pay the speaker's fee and nothing beyond it. The service, from shortlist through to contracts and event-day logistics, is included. For repeat or multi-event bookings, PepTalk can agree preferential rates with your procurement team.
Share your event date, audience, format, objectives and budget, and PepTalk sends a hand-picked shortlist within 24 hours. Each suggestion comes with a profile, a fee and a recommendation on the strongest fit. Once you choose, PepTalk handles contracts, travel and logistics through to event day.
The typical fee range is the speaker's standard in-person fee in their home market, shown in their local currency. It moves with format, location, date and session length: virtual sessions and shorter slots usually cost less, while international travel and peak dates cost more. Send your brief to PepTalk and the team will confirm the exact fee in your currency.
Not all of them, and it makes no difference to your booking. PepTalk's network of 15,000+ speakers covers talent the team works with directly alongside speakers represented by agents and agencies worldwide. PepTalk approaches the speaker, negotiates the fee and handles contracting either way.
Three to six months ahead is comfortable for most events, and 12 months is better for large conferences, peak-season dates or one specific in-demand speaker. Shorter timelines are workable, and PepTalk regularly fills last-minute and replacement bookings within days. Availability is the constraint, so get in touch as soon as you have a date.
