ASU Spotlight www.azpbs.org/asuspotlight

The Biodesign Institute at Arizona State University
Vaccines - Part 2 of 2
ASU scientists are working to meet the health care challenges of developing countries with both new and improved vaccines. Infectious disease is the number one killer worldwide, and by ensuring vaccines are low cost to produce, oral, heat stable, and single dose, these life-saving medications could be available to people across the globe.
The Institute is also focused on developing new ways to produce vaccines more quickly. Speed of development is particularly important in the event of a pandemic from a newly-emerging threat, such as avian flu, or via bioterrorism.
Panelists include: George Poste, DVM, Ph.D., Director, the Biodesign Institute; Roy Curtiss III, the Biodesign Institute; Bertram Jacobs, Ph.D., the Biodesign Institute.
Guest interviews include: Roy Curtiss III, the Biodesign Institute; Bertram Jacobs, Ph.D., the Biodesign Institute; Kathryn Sykes, Ph.D., the Biodesign Institute.
