Funding
Members of the Brain Infections Group have discussed and advised on Japanese encephalitis vaccine development and implementation, for no fee, with major stakeholders that include WHO, the Japanese encephalitis vaccine working group of the ACIP, the Japanese encephalitis programme at PATH, Novartis, Intercell, Acambis, Sanofi-Pasteur, and smaller Asian companies.
The University of Liverpool is also in discussions with industrial partners about applying for Wellcome Trust sponsorship of an Interdisciplinary Training Programme for Clinicians in Translational Medicine and Therapeutics, which requires Wellcome Funding to be matched by funding from industrial partners.
