October 6, 2020: The Times of India
India’s Translational Health Science and Technology Institute (THSTI), an autonomous institution of the department of biotechnology (DBT), has been recognized by the Coalition of Epidemic Preparedness for Innovation (CEPI) as one of the global network of laboratories for centralised assessment of Covid-19 vaccines.
The CEPI network will initially involve six labs, one each in Canada, Britain, Italy, the Netherlands, Bangladesh and India. Under CEPI , the laboratory will use the same reagents and follow a common set of protocols to measure the immune response of multiple vaccine candidates under development and trial.
The objectives of this mission aim to strengthen the development of vaccines and associated competencies/technologies for the diseases of epidemic potential in India. TNN
