Vaccine and Infectious Disease Division
Chronic infections present a large global health threat and therefore prevention is currently a major focus for reducing disease prevalence. The prevention strategies of vaccination have shown some highly promising results on diseases such as HIV and HSV-1, and the advancement and evolution of vaccine development in VIDD involves an ambitious team of scientists. Basic scientists, computer and animal modelers, statisticians, epidemiologists and clinicians work together throughout this rigorous process, from idea conception to clinical trial design and finally to vaccine production.
