    Lecture: Epidemic Preparedness

    Epidemic Preparedness: The Covid19 wake up call for modern vaccine technology How has the COVID-19 pandemic revolutionized vaccine science? The COVID-19 pandemic has placed vaccine science in the limelight and acutely demonstrated how vaccines can save lives and societies. The rapid advances in vaccine science spurred by the COVID-19 pandemic were built on a solid foundation of infectious disease research and provide promise for better ways of fighting new and existing infectious diseases. However, there is still substantial progress to be made in promoting long-term immunity, combatting vaccine inequity, and ensuring epidemic preparedness. The first talk of this Bioscience Lecture by Peter Lawætz Andersen will provide a historical perspective of vaccine science and discuss how COVID-19 was a game-changer for vaccine science. The second talk by Ingrid Kromann will provide an overview of how The Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations (CEPI) aims to promote vaccine access to all and ensure that societies are well-eqipped for the next pandemic threat.

    FAQ

    What is Copenhagen Bioscience Lectures?

    The Copenhagen Bioscience Lectures is a series of open lectures for all researchers and other interested in and around the Copenhagen area. Every 4 weeks, on a Thursday evening, you are invited for lectures on themes with a general interest for the Novo Nordisk Foundation Research Centers and bioscience researchers in general. Often there will be a cross-disciplinary focus.

    Will it be possible to attend physically and virtually?

    This will be a hybrid lecture with the possibility of attending both virtually and physically. Please note that we have a limited capacity for how many we allow to participate physically, and seats are allocated on a first come, first served basis.
