Welcome to the Inaugural Genetic Vaccine Development for Infectious Diseases Summit
Overcome the Translational Challenges of Developing mRNA, DNA & Engineered Viral Vector-Based Vaccines
The Genetic Vaccine Development for Infectious Diseases Summit will focus on overcoming the translational and clinical challenges of developing genetic vaccines targeting infectious diseases.
The agenda will cover clinical trial updates for pregnant women on COVID-19 candidates and long-term correlates of protection, plus our expert speakers will share unpublished data on gene-based vaccines for a wide range of infectious diseases, including Influenza, Lassa fever, Ebola, MERS, HIV, Zika, and COVID-19.
With a focus on mRNA, DNA, and engineered viral vector-based vaccines, this niche 3-day agenda has been specifically designed to help industry experts to:

Progress your own expertise and forge powerful collaborations with leading biotech, pharma, academics & NPOs

Overcome immunogenicity challenges to design safe and efficacious vaccine formulations

Define clinically meaningful endpoints to successfully develop and safely deliver optimal doses for public use
Form Powerful Collaborations with Pioneering Biopharma
The digital Genetic Vaccine Development for Infectious Diseases Summit is not only the first, but the only industry-dedicated meeting that brings you the most up-to-date clinical and commercial developments utilizing next-generation vaccine technologies for infectious diseases.
Join 100+ experts online from companies such as BioNTech, Pfizer, Moderna, AstraZeneca, CureVac and more to discuss new genetic-based vaccine platforms, preclinical and clinical case studies, optimized delivery methods, and the future of vaccine R&D to usher in a new era of vaccinology.
29 World-Class Speakers, Including:










Pre-Conference Symposium: SARS-CoV-2
By May, millions of doses of SARS-CoV-2 vaccines will have been administered. We have curated a tailored and focused program specifically on the SARS-CoV-2 pathogen to bring you updates on safety and effectiveness, correlates of protection, duration of long-term immunity, and use in potentially at-risk population groups such as pregnant women, children, and allergy sufferers
