Spotlight on Vaccine Research
Despite the fact that vaccines have saved lives for over 200 years, modern vaccine research has only just begun to develop their potential. In our theme on vaccine research we have explored new knowledge that opens new doors: one day, we might be able to inoculate ourselves against cancer, dementia and cardiovascular disease.
