Why is it important?

Vaccines are one of the best ways to prevent disease. However, important diseases remain without marketed vaccines. This review provides an outstanding introduction to the many points that a modern vaccine development scientist would consider when developing a new vaccine, and provides many examples of technologies that can be used to speed up the discovery of new vaccine antigens.

Perspectives

This review brings all the essential information that needs to be considered by a vaccine development scientist into one place. An essential read for new researchers in the field.
