Spring 2022 Course Offering – Introduction to Vaccine Development

November 23, 2021 by Candace Cain Leave a Comment

Spring 2022 Course Offerings

 REG 618 Introduction to Vaccine Development

Course Director: Jeff Barrett, MD

Date & Time: Wednesdays 4:00-7:00 pm

Location: Online

This introductory course lays the foundation for conducting vaccine research in many ways. It begins with a brief review of the history of vaccine discovery and development and explains the phases of vaccine development in detail. Global Health history and impact of vaccines is described as well as the various stakeholders (e.g. WHO and World Bank) involved which distinguish vaccine from drug development. The decision-making process, vaccine development milestones and compound progression metrics are defined and explained with examples. At the conclusion of this course, students should have a working knowledge of the vaccine development process, understand the regulatory basis by which new vaccines are evaluated, ultimately approved and distributed around the world.
