The Veterinary Vaccinology Network will be holding its Annual Conference from 5th – 6th January 2016, at the Manchester Conference Centre. The event will explore themes centred on fundamental science as well as presentations from funders and industry.
The network conference will provide an opportunity to hear from leading experts in vaccinology as well as networking with research scientists, industrial partners and policy makers.
Key themes for discussion will include:
- Transcriptomics – Global Immune Response
- Novel Vaccines
- Funders, collaborators and priorities in animal health research
- Working effectively with industry
- OneHealth and new technologies (in light of the recent Ebola outbreak and government strategies put in place).
The final theme is particularly relevant given the £90 million announced by the Government in the recent Spending Review for a specialised Vaccinology initiative to enhance the UK’s outbreak response, and to support vaccine development.

About The Veterinary Vaccinology Network
The Veterinary Vaccinology Network (VVN) is a multidisciplinary community who aim to address the unmet needs in veterinary vaccinology, continuing in the fight against animal diseases and consequently those that have the potential to spread to humans.
The network aims to enhance collaborations between scientific researchers, industry, policy makers and regulators to design, develop and deliver safe and effective next-generation vaccines against new and (re)-emerging diseases.
The VVN is currently coordinated by The Pirbright Institute and is chaired by Dr Bryan Charleston, the Institute’s Director of Science.
