Project Description

There is a growing global need for training in vaccinology and the study of vaccine-preventable diseases. To address these needs, Vanderbilt University Medical Center (VUMC), the Instituto de Investigacion Nutricional (IIN) and the Universidad Peruana Cayetano Heredia (UPCH) are joining forces to build the Peru-Vanderbilt Prevention through Vaccination Training Program (PREVENT). This program will move IIN and UPCH toward a new horizon in the study of vaccine preventable diseases and address Peru’s need for a world-class workforce trained in vaccinology.
