An introduction to a brand new UK manufacturing project that will provide state-of-the-art vaccine development and manufacturing. The centre will be constructed and operated by a new, not-for-profit company, VMIC UK. The company has been founded by three academic institutions (Oxford, Imperial and London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine) and supported by three industrial partners (Jansen, Merck and GE Healthcare). This facility will enhance UK preparedness and response capabilities for producing vaccines against emerging infectious diseases by allowing the UK government to use the facility and staff during an outbreak identified as a public health emergency of international concern.
