SUMMARY:Vaccine Optimisation Technology
DESCRIPTION:Dr Phil Gould\, Associate Head of School Enterprise and Innovation\, School of Life Sciences\, Coventry University \n\n\n\nVaccines save millions of lives per year. Unquestionably\, the current COVID-19 pandemic is a timely reminder of what can happen in a population that has no immunity to a pathogen. Diseases like polio\, diphtheria and smallpox which caused significant child mortality are now managed\, with smallpox eradicated due to vaccines. \n\n\n\nThe safe and efficient production of vaccines is paramount to human health and the pharmaceutical industry. Phil’s research has led him to develop a technology platform to improve the efficiency of viral vaccine manufacture. The technology is designed to be used by manufacturers to optimise steps of production that involve growing virus to be used for the vaccine. This will result in higher yields\, reducing costs for the manufacturer and decreasing their manufacturing times. Importantly improving yields allows wider distribution of vaccines to the public\, which is essential in pandemics such as the one we are experiencing. \n\n\n\nDr Gould’s team are focusing on optimising vaccines for a wide range of human and animal vaccines not just those associated with COVID-19.
