GCRF Veterinary and Human Vaccinology course

The Global Challenges Research Fund (GCRF) Vaccine Networks (IVVN, BactiVac, HIC-Vac, IMPRINT and VALIDATE) are running a veterinary and human vaccinology course in association with the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organisation (UN FAO), through the European Commission for the Control of Foot and Mouth Disease (EuFMD), from Monday 3 to Friday 7 December 2018 in Bangkok, Thailand.

The course will be delivered by an exceptional line up of world renowned academic and industrial speakers, and resonates with the ‘One Health’ agenda by highlighting the synergies between the human and veterinary vaccinology fields from scientific, technological and regulatory perspectives.
