Validate - The Validate Network

The VALIDATE Network aims to promote vaccine research and development (R&D) for complex intracellular pathogens that cause significant disease burden in low and middle-income countries (LMIC). Our initial focus is on Mycobacterium tuberculosis (which causes TB), Leishmania species (leishmaniasis), Burkholderia pseudomallei (melioidosis) and Mycobacterium leprae (leprosy).
The Network’s priorities lie in bringing together researchers from different specialities, different countries, different institutes and who work on different pathogens, with the aim of together making significant progress towards vaccines against our focus pathogens.
