One Hour @ UBC Lecture: Why it Takes So Long to Develop Treatments and Vaccines
May 12, 2020 - 1:00 pm - 2:00 pm
The COVID-19 crisis is reshaping politics, healthcare, our communities and society. One Hour @ UBC is a free online lecture series conceived especially for these unusual and turbulent times.
Get an overview of the types of vaccines and various immunization methods that might be useful against COVID-19. Understand testing and, to some degree, the process for approving a vaccine for clinical use, and why it takes as long as it does to develop a vaccine. Discuss issues around testing of current drugs and their potential for treating COVID-19 patients.
MARC LEVINE, PhD, is Professor Emeritus in the Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences and Chair, UBC Children’s and Women’s Research Ethics Board at UBC.
