5th Annual Vaccine Renaissance Conference

The best minds in vaccine design and development gathered in Providence, Rhode Island in October 2011 for iCubed’s 5th Annual Vaccine Renaissance Conference.

The interactive program offered ample time for the exchange of ideas among experts in vaccine research, vaccine delivery, clinical trials and basic immunology. Nationally recognized researchers and members of the vaccine development industry attended.

Through the program’s list of noted speakers as well as our diverse agenda, we focused on vaccines for neglected tropical diseases, cancer, biodefense, vaccines for animals, as well as one health vaccines which will protect both animals and humans.
