Vaccine Biosciences

• Return to the Conference Agenda

  The Vaccine biosciences program hosts ILRI’s Vaccine Platform (ILVAC). Its goal is to build a hub of research excellence at ILRI dedicated to developing vaccine-based solutions to reduce disease burdens that limit livestock productivity in smallholder and pastoral farming systems among others. The initiative works to develop new vaccines and diagnostic reagents using modern biotechnology and/or make innovative improvements to existing ones, which are often sub-optimal in nature.

   

  Here you will find a presentation from the program leader Vish Nene, and two scientific presentations by Lucilla Steinaa and Joerg Jores.
