Welcome To The 2010 Vaccinology Seminar Series
This course will cover the biological development, immunologic concepts, and methods for vaccines and biopharmaceuticals as well as methods of delivery and administration. Specific topics include new technologies for vaccine development such as DNA vaccines, recombinant mucosal vaccines, and dendritic cells for antigen delivery, novel adjuvants and methods to increase vaccine stability. Delivery systems for vaccines will include current technologies as well as novel technologies presently under development. The underlying biological roles of the innate and adaptive immune systems will be studied relative to the new types of vaccines and delivery systems. Finally, the process of manufacturing and bringing vaccines to market will be covered including government oversight and licensure.
Each week a different speaker will present a topic in their specific area of expertise. These speakers have been selected based on their individual outstanding academic and professional achievements in the field of Vaccinology. It is encouraged that local seminar participants attend at The Fetzer Center so they can meet the speakers in person.
When: Monday(s) 1:30 - 3:30 p.m.
Where: Fetzer Center Room 1005
