Vaccine manufacturing: Challenges and solutions

Article Abstract:

The application of new technologies to discover, assess, develop and produce the vaccines has the potential to prevent shortages of vaccines during an epidemic and enable the introduction of new vaccines, but increased cost of production and regulatory uncertainty created challenges for vaccine manufacturers. The cost of production can be reduced by growing vaccine virus in tissue culture cells, which enables rapid manufacturing, better controlled and increased large-scale vaccine production.

Public-private collaborations and the race to sequence Agrobacterium tumefaciens

Article Abstract:

Gene Nester the head of the research group on Agrobacterium tumefaciens did not receive a favourable response from the public authorities for funding purposes and so he approached the private corporations to work in collaboration towards the project. The genome race for Agrobacterium tumefaciens indicates that a natural or fixed classification of labour between the public and private sectors is very much unsophisticated.
