CEPI and Pasteur Network Collaborate to Enhance Vaccine R and Outbreak Preparedness
The Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations (CEPI) and the Pasteur Network have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to strengthen their collaboration on epidemic and pandemic preparedness. This partnership aims to enhance regional capacity in vaccine research and development, clinical trials, biosafety, biosecurity, laboratory science, and manufacturing. The collaboration seeks to ensure equitable access to vaccines during future public health emergencies by combining CEPI's expertise in vaccine development with the Pasteur Network's strengths in global disease surveillance and research capacity, particularly in the Global South. The MoU outlines potential collaboration in areas such as epidemiology, laboratory research, clinical trials, biosecurity, and manufacturing, with a focus on advancing mRNA vaccine capabilities and scalable manufacturing networks.
