New Frontiers in Vaccine Development

 LIVE Symposium

Tuesday, February 18, 2025
10:00 AM - 1:00 PM ET

Despite its long history, vaccination remains an effective means of reducing infectious disease susceptibility and transmission. As bacterial, viral, fungal, and protozoan pathogens continue to threaten the lives of people around the globe, scientists must design the next generation of vaccines.

In this symposium brought to you by The Scientist, researchers will discuss the current advancements in vaccine research and development for both emerging and common pathogens.
