Target audience
The course is primarily aimed at academic researchers having a basic knowledge of virology and vaccinology with more interactive learning materials provided for the early phases of vaccine development during which academia is more involved. However, as it provides a complete overview it will be helpful for anyone wishing to gain an overview of veterinary vaccine development.
Requirements and qualifications
Access to a computer with a reliable internet connection is essential. The course is prepared in English (UK).
Course description
This course provides a complete overview of the different stages of veterinary vaccine development, showing the process of developing a vaccine, how it flows from early-stage research through to commercial development and product registration. Greater awareness of the entire process spanning from early-stage research performed in academia to product development and registration likely performed by a commercial partner is aimed to bridge the knowledge gap between these two sectors.
Learning outcomes
Divided into 6 individual modules, you will be able to:
- Understand what a Target Product Profile is and how it facilitates vaccine development.
- Know key questions that should be addressed during the Discovery and Feasibility phase including important technology transfer considerations.
- Discuss the challenges faced when transferring technologies from academia to industry.
- Explain the key elements of early- and late-stage veterinary vaccine development.
- Describe the complexity of product licensing and registration.
