Can you imagine voluntarily being infected with a virus, purely for science?
During this PEP-talk, Marjolein Kikkert and Meta Roestenberg from the LUCID department will take you into the fascinating world of controlled human infections.
Controlled human infection studies involve deliberately infecting healthy volunteers under carefully controlled conditions to help test vaccines and antiviral treatments more quickly and effectively. But how safe is this really? What is involved in developing and administering the infectious material, and where are the ethical boundaries?
Get a behind-the-scenes look at a field of research where science, safety and social responsibility constantly come together.
Location: Collegezaal 1
