Jan 21, 2025

Korea University Medical School Vaccine Innovation Center (Center Director Jung Hee-jin) successfully held the '2025 Vaccine Expert Training Program' in the International Remote Conference Room of Korea University's Centennial Samsung Hall from the 14th to the 17th. A total of 380 experts and students from each field attended the four-day program.

Vaccine expert training is a program operated by the Vaccine Innovation Center from 2023, and this year, it consists of 'mRNA vaccine research and development advanced courses' and 'Vaccine clinical trials advanced courses'. In particular, this training consisted of a process to contribute to the development and production of domestic mRNA vaccines, which has emerged as a national task since the COVID-19 pandemic, and domestic researchers actively participated.

"Experiencing the COVID-19 pandemic, the importance of vaccine research and development has become clearer than ever, and vaccines have become an important key to addressing the global infectious disease health crisis. We hope this educational program will be an opportunity for Korean researchers to grow together so that they can actively cope with future new variants of infectious diseases. "




Chung Hee-jin, Director of the Vaccine Innovation Center, said, "This vaccine expert education program will serve as an important foundation for the future of vaccine research and development in Korea. The Vaccine Innovation Center will continue to push for commercially available vaccines beyond basic vaccine research and strive to cultivate experts in the field of vaccine research and development in Korea."
