July 10, 2023 — 

Launching the new Center on Vaccine Evaluation and Alternatives for Antimicrobials, or CVEAA, Kansas State University's College of Veterinary Medicine aims to support animal vaccine development and usage, says a recent release.

The new center will provide innovative services to global partners and customers by conducting safety and efficacy evaluations of vaccines for transboundary animal diseases, helping animal vaccine buyers manage product specification and quality evaluation, and leading feasibility analysis and policy advocacy on vaccines as alternatives for antimicrobials used in animal production, says the release, with Jishu Shi, professor of vaccine immunology and one of the university's leading researchers on infectious swine diseases to serve as the center's director and one of three primary faculty members.

"The Center on Vaccine Evaluation and Alternatives for Antimicrobials is a research and service center designed to meet a series of unmet needs in the development and usage of animal vaccines around the world," Shi says in the release.
