Presentation

The course will be taught in English.

The objective is to offer an integrated overview of vaccinology, from public health and scientific data which justify the development of a vaccine, to its delivery to the populations in the context of industrialized and developing countries.

The course comprises the 4 following modules:

  • Preclinical and clinical steps: basic principles.
  • Update of vaccine development for the major infectious diseases
