Vaccine Design and Drug Delivery Technology

Vaccines are preparations that are administered to patients in order to elicit immune responses that result in the development of antibodies (humoral) or cell-mediated responses that will help them fight infectious pathogens or non-infectious conditions like cancer. Advances in immunology, protein design, and genetic delivery have opened up previously unimaginable possibilities for vaccine concepts and delivery systems. These next-generation vaccine design initiatives are particularly fascinating since they have the potential to deliver solutions to difficult targets where traditional approaches have failed. Vaccine drug delivery systems have been shown to be patient-friendly since they eliminate the need for booster doses and provide long-term therapy in small doses. The introduction of needle-free technology to administer them encourages their use even more.
