UK Vaccine Network (UKVN) - Medical Research Council (MRC) and Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC) - Intramural Centre Vaccine Development Projects
Project disclaimer
Description
This is an Official Development Assistance (ODA) funded UKaid project from the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC)’s UK Vaccine Network (UKVN) which supports the development of vaccines and vaccine technology for infectious diseases with the potential to cause an epidemic in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), focusing on areas of market failure. UKVN has identified a range of human diseases with epidemic potential in LMICs for which the development of vaccines is a priority. UKVN collaborated with the Medical Research Council (MRC) and the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC) to run a competition in 2016 which aimed to support vaccine research to tackle UKVN-identified priority pathogens. UKVN funding covered six successful projects managed by the National Institute for Health and Care Research’s Evaluation, Trials and Studies Coordinating Centre (NETSCC). Five projects focus on Phase 1 trials, including two clinical human trials, and one on preclinical and discovery. Five priority pathogens (pathogens of epidemic potential in LMICs with no vaccine) were targeted across the projects, including Disease X (a pandemic pathogen that has not yet been characterised).
