Brief Description: |

The Vaccine & Infectious Disease Institute (VAXINFECTIO) is a formal Institute of the Faculty of Medicine at the University of Antwerp and conducts multidisciplinary research of vaccines and infectious diseases.
|
|
Detail Description: |
VAXINFECTIO consists of the Laboratory of Medical Microbiology (LMM), the Laboratory of Experimental Hematology (LEH), and the Centre for the Evaluation of Vaccination (CEV). It is since 01/01/2008 formally recognised as Centre of Excellence of the University of Antwerp.
Vaxinfecio provides a translational platform for integrated vaccine and microbiological research, with the possibility to conduct clinical microbiological or vaccine trials (phase I to IV), microbiological diagnostics and basic immunological research.
The Institute stands for integrated vaccine and microbiological research with a focus on improving or increasing the understanding of the immune responses in prophylactic and therapeutic vaccines (including tumour vaccines), and on the containment of antibiotic resistance. These topics are studied in a multi-angle integrated approach at a microbiological, immunological, epidemiological, clinical, socio-economical, bio-mathematical and bio-statistical level.
