Description

This is a three-day back-to-back intensive course that brings together international leaders in the vaccine development field to discuss and debate issues surrounding the design, manufacture and commercialisation of vaccines. It is suitable for students as part of the Year-In-Industry placement and research students. Students will learn about the historical importance of early vaccines, the modification to the ‘regulatory lock,’ and process development challenges for vaccine manufacture.

Upon completion of the course, a student should be able to:

  • Identify active and passive immune therapies
  • Understand the regulatory burden for vaccine manufacture
  • Distinguish between process choices for bacterial and viral vaccines
  • Understand antigen design
  • Distinguish between the multiple methods of action for an adjuvant
  • Appreciate vaccine development within a closed ‘artificial’ market
  • Make cost bases analyses on process changes

Understand ‘production at risk'
