Determine biomarkers correlated with immune protection for different vaccine platforms.

Progress Highlights

The ISIRV conference, Correlates of protection for next generation influenza vaccines: lessons learned from the COVID pandemic, held Mar 1-3, 2023, focused on immunologic assays and correlates of protection for evaluating next-generation influenza vaccines. The next ISIRV Correlates of Protection conference will be held in Vienna in October 2025.
