The book covers all aspects of vaccine development, including basic immunology (focusing on the stimulation of adaptive immunity, which is required for vaccine efficacy), approaches to vaccine design and target validation, vaccine biomanufacturer and clinical development. Existing vaccinology resources are theoretical reference books, whereas this book provides a practical handbook for use in the research lab and classroom by those working in vaccinology and training others in the field.
It is authored and edited by scientists actively engaged in vaccine research and development for day-to-day teaching/methodological advice.
- Addresses how to design a vaccine for an emerging disease, from a practical point-of -view, with chapters written by scientists who are grappling with these questions
- Provides new approaches to vaccine development. including vaccine targeting and virus-like-particle vaccines
- Gives up-to-date information and methodologies in use for vaccine adjuvants
Academic faculties, researchers, students and scientists in the field of immunology, pharmacology and vaccinology; Academics researching and developing vaccines (from graduate students to group leaders)
