Overview

The University of Liverpool’s Institute of Infection, Veterinary, and Ecological Sciences (IVES) was established to bring together leading medical, veterinary and basic science researchers from across the Faculty of Health and Life Sciences.

Features

The University is one of few academic institutions in the UK to have designed, made and tested a human vaccine all the way through to clinical trials. It holds a significant human sample collection that can be used for immunological research underpinning our understanding of how these vaccines work, and how to improve upon them for the next generation of vaccines.

Research in Immunology and Vaccinology is based in new laboratories at four sites, the Biosciences Building, IC2, the Leahurst campus and the Ronald Ross Building. The Centre for Global Vaccine Research at the University of Liverpool currently works across Europe, Asia, Africa and more recently South America.
