Toward Universal Coronavirus Vaccines: From Concept to Clinic

Explore the development of universal coronavirus vaccines in this hour-long keynote presentation by Dr. Kayvon Modjarrad, Director of the Emerging Infectious Diseases Branch at Walter Reed Army Institute of Research. Gain insights into the design and development of an adjuvanted SARS-CoV-2 Spike ferritin nanoparticle (SpFN) vaccine, which offers broad protection against multiple sarbecovirus lineages. Learn about the vaccine's ability to elicit potent, broadly neutralizing antibody responses against wild-type SARS-CoV-2, variants of concern, and SARS-CoV-1. Discover how this robust immunity translates into rapid protection across various animal models and its potential as a platform for broadly protective coronavirus vaccines. Understand the basic design and nanoparticle approach, follow the development pathway through preclinical assessments to clinical evaluation, and explore key considerations for clinical development in an immunologically primed population. Presented by a leading expert in the field, this webinar offers valuable knowledge for those interested in the future of coronavirus vaccine development and pandemic preparedness.
