OVERVIEW

The 2nd International Electronic Conference on Vaccines (IECV) 2024 is organized by Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI) and will be held from Nov 27 - 29, 2024.

Description:
There are currently major challenges to developing new vaccines and improving existing platforms for both infectious diseases and cancer. Novel methods of vaccine delivery for both human and different animal species are required. Advances in vaccine design to give broad protection to mitigate against the mutation of antigens and to provide both good humoral and cellular immunity are a priority. For flaviviruses, particularly dengue, there are major hurdles to producing vaccines, which not only cover all the serotypes but also prevent the induction of antibody-dependent enhancement. Inactivated and subunit vaccines need to be combined with effective long-acting adjuvants to optimise their potential. In all cases, novel assays, in particular omics-based approaches, are necessary to evaluate in-depth and early responses to vaccination.
The IECV 2024 invites researchers from academia, as well as vaccine practitioners, to contribute original findings, novel ideas, scientific concepts, and new technologies and experiences to deal with immunology mechanisms, animal models for immunologic diseases, viral immunology, immunopathogenesis, vaccine development and efficacy evaluation, immune responses to vaccines, vaccine technology, vaccine vectors, adjuvants, and immunomodulators, with reference to the following topics:
