“Novel adjuvants will emerge when they clearly differentiate themselves and show inherent value that others cannot match.”
Charlotte Barker (Commissioning Editor, Vaccine Insights) speaks with Derek O'Hagan (GSK R&D), Ed Lavelle (Trinity College Dublin), Jay T Evans (Inimmune Corporation), and Ari Joffe (NIAID, NIH) about the state of vaccine adjuvant development, including drivers for new adjuvant innovation, advances in mechanistic understanding, and key barriers to clinical translation.
