VACCINOLOGY (BIO-301) Credit Hrs 3(2-1) Dr. Aneela javed

Objectives The aim of the course is to Introduce students to the various disciplines associated with vaccinology including vaccine development The relevant basic sciences such as immunology, microbiology and molecular biology clinical trials vaccine safety, ethics vaccine-economics vaccination strategies and evaluation of vaccines.

Course Contents An introduction to Vaccinology Vaccine history and types Epidemiologic basis of Vaccinology Role of combination vs. single vaccines The immune responses to the pathogen & vaccine development Immunology of Vaccines Antigen and Vaccine Delivery Strategies Determinants of Vaccine Availability Vaccine development strategies: New approaches Live versus attenuated vaccines Role of multinational companies in vaccines production DNA as vaccine Peptide & Subunits vaccine Adjuvants in vaccines Population Genetic analysis: immunity to vaccine Recombinant vaccine Animal models of vaccine testing Vaccine Delivery Systems Practical issues in relation to trials Ethical issues related to clinical evaluation of vaccines Vaccine safety Review of vaccines in current use Vaccine-economics Future of Vaccines/Vaccination
