CEPI and Pasteur Network have entered into a new agreement to advance regional vaccine R&D and outbreak preparedness ⬇️ The two organisations have signed a Memorandum of Understanding to expand collaboration on epidemic and pandemic preparedness, vaccine research, manufacturing and innovation. They will work together to enhance regional capacity in vaccine research and development, clinical trials, biosafety and biosecurity, laboratory science, and manufacturing in support of equitable vaccine access. Dr Richard Hatchett, CEPI’s Chief Executive Officer, said, “By joining forces with the Pasteur Network, CEPI can connect with trusted, locally embedded institutions to accelerate vaccine development and readiness. Together, we will strengthen scientific collaboration, share best practices, and build sustainable regional capacity to accelerate vaccine development and improve the world’s ability to respond rapidly and equitably to emerging outbreaks, wherever they may occur.” More in the press release: https://lnkd.in/enGXNfzt French version available here: https://lnkd.in/eTuvW8xk
