The Bristol Vaccine Centre and the Infection and Immunity Research Network, an interdisciplinary community at Bristol which seeks to facilitate and encourage research activity and strategic planning across faculties, are delighted to co-host a symposium on 21 June 2022 in the Geographical Sciences Building. 

The focus of this event will be on vaccines and talks will follow the vaccine development pathway from antigen discovery to manufacture and delivery, and covering modelling, human challenge models, manufacture and uptake hesitancy along the way. The symposium will run from 10.00 to 15.00 and will include a buffet lunch.
