Correlates of protection (CoP) are an important tool in vaccine development, approval, and deployment. Although many studies identify biomarkers predictive of protection, demonstrating the validity and generalisability of a CoP present a major challenge.
In this talk Professor Miles Davenport, Program Head of the Infection Analytics Program, Kirby Institute, UNSW, will discuss his team’s work establishing a mechanistic correlate of protection for COVID-19, and more recent application to mpox and HPV.
