Innovation in Vaccinology from design, through to delivery and testing

Innovation in Vaccinology from design, through to delivery and testing / edited by Selene Baschieri.

Prevention of infectious diseases by vaccination is one of the most significant achievements of modern medicine. During the 20th century, the average human life span in the developed world was about 70 years and it is expected to increase, with a significant portion of this increase directly attribu...
