International Assessment Of Research and Developmentin Rapid Vaccine Manufacturing
a vision for the future • Efficient production • Flexible • Modular • Agile • Economic viability • Return on investment • Drives innovation • Efficacious vaccines • Increased response rate • Reduced adverse events
technology and engineering as a driver • US status • Discovery based innovation • Technology based innovation • Discovery through delivery • Traditional vaccines • Needed vaccines
disease emergence as a driver • What if’s • Pandemic flu • SARS • A new WNV or arbovirus • An engineered microbe • A really old pathogen coming out of melting ice flows
traditional vaccines • Existing threat • Base line prevalence • Seasonal expectations • Defined at risk populations • Known morbidity and mortality
a new paradigm • Emergent threat • Unknown pathogen (or at least unidentified) • Unknown source and natural history • Unknown routes of transmission • Unknown vectors • Unknown pathology • Unknown immune response • Unknown risk of transmission • Everyone is at risk • Immuno-compromised are more at risk • No effective therapy • Unknown morbidity and mortality
needs based approach • Assessment of existing assets • Identification of current trends • Identification of emerging critical science, technologies and processes • Stimulation of new concepts and approaches • Strategic investment in bottlenecks • Strategic investment in new technologies and science
