Stabilizing VSV and AdV Vaccines

Vaccines are inherently unstable and are stored in the refrigerator or frozen. This project aims to design a vaccine technology, using a viral vector, that would be much more stable and able to be stored at room temperature. This advantage would reduce the cost of transport and storage, especially in the case of stockpiling for potential outbreaks. A more stable vaccine could also be used in a room temperature application, such as a vaccine patch or a dissolving strip for oral dosing.
