AIVRT Post-doc Julen at VALIDATE Network Annual Meeting 2025 in Cape Town, South Africa

Julen Tomás-Cortázar for representing AIVRT internationally and for his presentation "Development of Versatile and Cost-Effective Next-Generation Vaccines through Multivalent Approaches" at the VALIDATE Network Annual Meeting 2025 in Cape Town, South Africa!

Julen showcased exciting progress of his project on next-generation vaccines.

This vital work is exploring cutting-edge platforms, including mRNA, adenoviral-vectored, and peptide nanoparticle-based approaches, all aimed at designing cost-effective vaccines for Low and Middle-Income Countries (LMICs). ☺️

Thanks to VALIDATE Network for hosting, international colleagues Horváti Kata & Tuanyok Apichai and AIVRT Lead and PI Siobhán McClean

Julen's work is another example of the AIVRT mission: translating cutting-edge vaccine science into practical, life-saving solutions for global health security. This effort, which proactively works toward solutions that prevent infections before they occur, is mirrored across the AIVRT initiative and network.
