Vaccine research and testing

RT-Europe Research Center’s focus is to support the development of vaccines and functional foods with interdisciplinary scientific teams. RT-Europe Research Center provides capabilities to study and test emerging and re-emerging pathogens including enabling pathogens that modify the immune response to infections and vaccines. Examples of such organisms are mycoplasmas, herpes viruses, influenza viruses, E. coli (coming from contaminated food), porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus, and porcine circoviruses.

RT-Europe Research Center has the capacity to support vaccine development and new methods of delivery for both humans and animals. In addition, RT-Europe supports the development of new diagnostic assays.

RT-Europe Research Center has developed several international collaborations and is attracting researchers from around the world.

Vaccine technology improvements

Scientists at RT-Europe Research Center work to support, with basic and translational research, the development of novel vaccine formulations and delivery systems including needle-free methods of vaccine delivery. Known as „platform technologies”, much of this work is applicable across species and diseases. RT-Europe Research Center is providing scientific and practical support to improve the quality of life of livestock, companion animals and humans with vaccine and diagnostic assay developments; and to increase the competitiveness of livestock producers.
