Online Vaccine Production Academy – Module 8 Vaccine Development

Short description

Module 8 of the Online Vaccine Production Academy will dive into the development of a vaccine and the production process, and covers the following topics:

• Epidemiology triggers research
• Antigen identification
• Animal models

• Guidelines for vaccine development

• Different production platforms

• Scale-up

• Validation of production process and assays

• Toxicology studies
• Safety & efficacy studies
• Correlates of protection

All of the modules will be presented in a particularly interactive way. So not just listening, but active participation is encouraged and facilitated. Where possible, movies, quizzes, polls and live demonstrations of production steps in the cleanrooms of Biotech Training Facility are incorporated.
