Special Issue "Non-Human Primate Model Suitable to Assess Efficacies of New Drugs and Vaccines"

Dear Colleagues,

We are pleased to announce the launch of “Non-Human Primate Model to Assess Efficacies of New Drugs and Vaccines”, a Special Issue of the Vaccines journal by MDPI. This issue will publish original, peer-reviewed, science-based research articles that help to enhance the field of vaccine development for various infectious diseases using a non-human primate model. This issue will be supervised by editors from international academia to maintain a high standard and aims to primarily focus on non-human primate models for infectious diseases and how the efficacy of various drugs and vaccines can be assessed before human trials. Ultimately, the issue seeks to offer a forum for researchers where innovative research on vaccine and drug testing in non-human primate models can be expanded across the scientific community at large.

This Special Issue also invites reviews specifically focusing on drug and vaccine development in non-human primate models. Finally, we welcome scholars from relevant fields to contribute to this issue through their research articles or review papers for publication

Dr. Souvik Karmakar
Guest Editor
