The network for training in the field of rational designing a new generation of defined glycoconjugate-based vaccines – GLYCOVAX is the first project accepted within the framework of the Marie Sklodowska Curie Innovative Training Networks programme Horizon 2020, while its Croatian partner is the Faculty of Medicine in Rijeka.
GLYCOVAX represents a network for training young scientists striving to learn how to rationally design a new generation of defined and innovative glycoconjugate-based vaccines, with the aim of improving existent preventive treatments as well as solving thus far unfulfilled medical necessities.
By merging
Faculty of Medicine University of Rijeka recently has been recently enriched with the Center of Excellence for Viral Immunology and Vaccines.
