HIC-Vac is an international network of researchers who are developing human infection challenge (HIC) studies to accelerate the development of vaccines against pathogens of high global impact.
Our vision
By bringing together the brightest minds in the field, we want to speed up vaccine development and reduce the burden of some of the world's most crippling diseases by supporting human infection studies. Our goal is to foster an engaged and interactive community of international researchers to promote open sharing of knowledge and expertise, generate new ideas, support and share best practice, and form new cross-discipline collaborations.
Our Network will support this vision by providing catalyst funding - pump-priming grants to develop early stage research ideas, and grants to enable researchers to advance their career development through training opportunities.
