Terahertz Spectroscopy of Mass-Manufactured Viral Vaccines

宫颈癌疫苗的突破证明，新的和令人兴奋的产品正在治疗和预防以前无法接触的疾病。目前正在研究类似的禽流感产品，而且迫切需要新的制造方法，以便以人们可以承受的价格将这种科学推向市场。然而，制药行业的制造创新受到缺乏产品分析方法的制约。在这个项目中，工程师们将设计出先进的方法来对这些新疫苗产品进行指纹识别，确保在不影响安全性的情况下改进生产工艺。这些新的分析技术将有可能导致在澳大利亚生产新的低成本疫苗产品。

The breakthrough vaccine for cervical cancer proves that new and exciting products are on the way to treat and protect against previously untouchable diseases. Similar products for bird flu are being researched, and new manufacturing methods are urgently needed to get this science to market at a price that people can afford. However, manufacturing innovation in the pharmaceutical industry is constrained by a lack of methods for product analysis. In this project engineers will devise advanced methods to fingerprint these new vaccine products, ensuring that manufacturing processes can be improved without compromising safety. These new analytical techniques will potentially lead to new low-cost vaccine products made in Australia.
