The objective in Research Center for Drug and Vaccine Development is to develop and/or improve therapeutic and preventive interventions in infectious diseases. Because the development requires multidisciplinary approach, Research Center conducts interdepartmental, national, and international collaborative researches with many universities, research institutes, and industrial companies.
