vaccine research
Developing preventive injections
Vaccine research is the scientific study aimed at developing, testing, and improving vaccines to prevent infectious diseases.
This work spans from basic laboratory investigation of pathogens and immune responses to clinical trials that evaluate safety and effectiveness in humans.
The university received a major grant for vaccine research on respiratory viruses.
The field gained unprecedented public attention during the COVID-19 pandemic, when vaccine research proceeded at historic speed.
