UQ and Queensland will be a major international hub for vaccine discovery and development, with an AUD 32 million partnership secured between The University of Queensland and US-based Emory University, with support from the Queensland Government, to establish the Queensland Emory Vaccine Centre (QEVC) at UQ.
QEVC will bring together UQ and Emory researchers, along with industry partners including global pharmaceutical company Sanofi and homegrown biotech company Vaxxas, to accelerate the development of vaccines and their delivery to help address the world’s critical health challenges.
“QEVC will co-locate some of the best vaccine researchers in the world in a new cutting-edge laboratory at UQ that will fast-track the translation of vaccines into viable treatments to improve the lives of people around the world,” Professor Terry said.
“Once operational, the QEVC will house more than 80 researchers and create over 20 direct jobs, provide new teaching and learning opportunities to boost Queensland’s skills pipeline and help to attract and retain talent.
“Other research institutions and the biotech sector will also be able to take advantage of the new facilities and work with the wider vaccine research and development community built on the Emory and UQ partnership.
“The focus will be to ensure a robust pipeline of vaccines and therapeutics moving from discovery to commercialisation – quite simply getting more vaccines from the lab to the communities that need them.”
