Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The urgent global need for vaccines to prevent COVID-19, allied with the rapid development of immunization approaches targeting SARS-CoV-2, evidences how the vaccinology field has substantially evolved lately. New technologies for antigen design, the rapid discovery of high neutralizing monoclonal antibodies and the development of new delivery platforms are only a few examples. In addition, in recent years, innumerous changes have occurred in terms of density, age and traveling habits of the world population. Thus, changes in vaccine development that can address all these issues need to be implemented.
This Special Issue aims to gather the latest research on new vaccine technologies and approaches, including, but not limited to, the following topics:
- Adjuvants;
- Antigen design;
- Delivery platforms;
- Nanoparticle viral vectors;
- Vaccine development for outbreaks;
- Immunization with whole organisms;
- DNA vaccines;
- RNA vaccines;
- Genetic adjuvants.
We look forward to your contribution to this Special Issue!
