UK Vaccine Network - UK Health Security Agency
Project disclaimer
Description
The Prime Minister established the UK Vaccine Network (UKVN) in June 2015 to ensure that the UK was at the forefront of the fight against future disease outbreaks. UKVN has identified a range of human diseases with epidemic potential for which the development of vaccines is a priority. The Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) is making up to £3,100,000 available to the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) under the provisions of the International Development Act of 2002 to deliver a programme of seven projects that will advance vaccine development for diseases of epidemic potential for the benefit of people in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). The programme will be wholly funded by DHSC through UK aid. The seven projects are: 1. CL4 Live Virus Neutralisation Tests; 2. Development of PNA Capability for Priority Pathogens; 3. Multiplex pAn-Virus Inhibition (MAVI) assays; 4. Preclinical model expansion for the assessment of cross-protective vaccines candidates against henipaviruses; 5. Development of GMP LassaVacc: Progression towards clinical trials; 6. Development of an X-ray inactivated whole virus vaccine for Zika and efficacy testing in an established rodent model; and 7. Advancement of a cost-effective MVA based Hantavirus vaccine (HantaVacc).
