Development of a universal influenza vaccine based on tandem core technology (FLUTCORE)

Start date: Sep 1, 2013, End date: Mar 31, 2017,

"FLUTCORE will develop a novel universal influenza A virus (IAV) vaccine based on the tandem core vaccine platform. Recent influenza pandemics have emphasized the urgent need for better vaccines that are reactive with multiple IAV subtypes and that are no longer dependent on intimate knowledge of the prevalent virus. We propose to replace the existing seasonal IAV vaccine with a virus like particl ...
