Focus on Vaccine Development

Have you washed your hands? Then it’s time to start research!

As the spread of COVID-19 accelerates, and measures are enacted to help protect vulnerable people within society, it can be difficult to think about how we get ahead of this virus. A lot remains to be understood about its transmission and incubation, directly impacting the quality of the models being used to predict its spread. However, ‘necessity is the mother of invention’, and big challenges can help us learn new and more efficient ways of working. A good example of this is the R&D being performed across the globe to bring vaccines to market more rapidly while still ensuring patient safety. This is where Malvern Panalytical has a key role to play.

This webinar series will demonstrate why Malvern Panalytical’s physicochemical analysis solutions and expertise are applied to the development of stable, safe and effective vaccine formulations. We will focus on work by Sanofi-Pasteur, GSK and the University of Oxford, respectively developing rabies, respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), and meningitis vaccines. The use of Malvern Panalytical’s solutions by these organizations in reducing lead times by identifying the most suitable vaccine candidates, reducing cost by developing stable formulations at the preclinical stage, and optimizing shelf-life through predictive modelling, will be focused on.

Please bring your questions and join us to learn how Malvern Panalytical can support the excellent research being done in response to COVID-19.
