Diagnostics, Therapeutics and Vaccines

This theme advances the full pipeline from discovery to delivery, connecting laboratory science, engineering and data analytics with clinical trials and real‑world implementation. 

Research spans novel diagnostic and surveillance tools, drug and vaccine development and testing, and precision/personalised approaches that tailor prevention and treatment to patients and populations. Case management, infection prevention strategies and therapeutic care practices are evaluated alongside health‑systems performance, governance and equity. 

Social, ethical and cultural dimensions of development, uptake and trust are embedded throughout to ensure innovations are effective, acceptable and accessible. Partnerships with public, policy and industry stakeholders strengthen translation, preparedness and impact across diverse settings.
