EMORY DEDICATES NEW VACCINE RESEARCH BUILDING

With the dedication of its new Vaccine Research Building on Oct. 14, Emory University underscores its commitment to world leadership in the fight to eliminate or control the deadly infectious diseases that continue to plague millions of individuals around the globe. The Emory Vaccine Research Center assembles a group of the nation's most respected immunologists and virologists in one of the largest centers ever created to forge new vaccine strategies. The new 75,000-square-foot, four-story Vaccine Research Building adjoins the main building of the Yerkes Research Center adjacent to the Emory University campus.

The Georgia Research Alliance, a non-profit, public-private partnership of research universities, business and state government, has provided generous support for the Vaccine Center as well as the National Institutes of Health and the federal Office of AIDS Research.
