New Delhi: India will host a four-day long international symposium on vaccines in New Delhi from Monday where issues of research and disease prevention through immunisation will be discussed.
More than 100 world-leading experts from disparate fields of vaccinology in both its human and veterinary domains will participate in it. They will put forward valuable ideas and approaches among researchers often narrowly focused on their specific diseases or methods.
The department under the ministry of science and technology has organised the symposium under its new initiatives - Vaccine Grand Challenge Programme.
The scientists at the meeting will deliberate the many-sided correlations between vaccines, medicine and society at the dawn of the third millennium; identify research opportunities and scientific challenges associated with vaccine development, production, and distribution.
The Vaccine and Infectious Diseases Research Centre: Translational Health and Technology Institute, Clinical Development Services Agency and International AIDS Vaccine Initiative (IAVI) are some of the organisations participating in the symposium.
