Role in TherVacB
HMGU is the Project Coordinator. The HMGU team is working on the development of a therapeutic hepatitis B vaccine candidate for more than five years and has designed the vaccine components and developed and IP protected the heterologous prime-boost scheme to be used in TherVacB. The immune monitoring group has established GLP-compliant SOPs for the management, processing and storage of biological samples from clinical studies and has validated immunoassays and SOPs for the monitoring of HBV-specific immune responses.
Based on its extensive expertise, the HMGU team will conduct TherVacB management; dissemination, exploitation, communication; preclinical testing and regulatory affairs as well as immune monitoring and biomarker identification.
