• Keynote lecture about rapid and cost-effective manufacturing solutions in the development of vaccines
  

  by Menzo Havenga, President & CEO Batavia Biosciences

  There is a constant demand for more affordable vaccines for global health (polio, measles, rubella), as well as new vaccines to protect against emerging virus outbreaks, such as Ebola, Lassa, Marburg, and coronavirus. To keep up with such demand, breakthrough technologies and global collaborations are required that allow flexible, cost-effective and rapid vaccine development. In this presentation, promising novel technologies, flexible manufacturing solutions and views on collaborations within the industry will be presented. These innovations have demonstrated to substantially lower the cost of goods and increase speed of manufacturing. Such innovations are deemed critical to stay ahead of the game and keep millions of people from dying from vaccine preventable diseases.
