Results for tag: "Vaccinology"

Vaccinology is a branch of biotechnology that focuses on the development, production, and distribution of vaccines. Vaccines are biological preparations that are used to stimulate an individual's immune system to develop immunity to a specific disease. Vaccines are typically administered through injection, inhalation, or oral ingestion. Vaccinology is a rapidly growing field, as the demand for vaccines increases due to the emergence of new diseases and the need to protect against existing ones. Vaccinology involves the use of a variety of technologies, including molecular biology, immunology, and biochemistry. Vaccines are developed through the use of recombinant DNA technology, which allows scientists to modify the genetic material of a virus or bacteria to create a vaccine. Vaccines are then tested in clinical trials to ensure safety and efficacy. The Vaccinology market is highly competitive, with many companies involved in the development, production, and distribution of vaccines. Some of the major players in the market include Merck & Co., GlaxoSmithKline, Pfizer, Sanofi, and Johnson & Johnson. Show Less Read more
