Inha University Suggests Next-Generation Vaccine Strategy...Introduction of nano vaccine technology to overcome antimicrobial resistance
How to control antibiotic resistance through next-generation vaccine strategy



Inha University (President Cho Myung-woo) announced on the 20th that the immunization and biopharmaceutical laboratory led by Professor Son Se-jin of the Department of Life Sciences has recently presented nano-vaccine technology to overcome antimicrobial resistance, drawing attention from academia.

Antibiotic resistance is one of the most threatening health problems currently facing humanity, facing a dead end that cannot be solved with conventional treatments.

Professor Son Se-jin's research team proposed an innovative vaccine strategy that neutralizes the antibiotic resistance mechanism itself by utilizing the body's immune system beyond the existing method of directly attacking bacteria with antibiotics.




The research team's approach has shown the possibility of overcoming currently incurable multidrug-resistant bacterial infections by inducing an immune response targeting key molecular mechanisms that cause antibiotic resistance.

It is significant in that it contains important academic content that presents feasible answers to the global crisis of antibiotic resistance while suggesting specific directions for practical vaccine development strategies beyond a simple literature review.

The research team's paper was recently published in the international journal Journal of Controlled Release (JCR) under the title of 「Nano Vaccine Technology for Overcoming Antimicrobial Resistance」. JCR is a leading top academic journal in the field of drug delivery and nanomedicine.




Professor Son Se-jin of the Department of Life Sciences at Inha University "This review paper presents a way to solve the common problems of mankind using the latest biotechnology."Based on this, we will strive to develop various vaccine technologies that can be applied in practice "

On the other hand, this study was conducted with the support of the Korea Research Foundation under the Ministry of Science and ICT's ▲ Outstanding New Researchers Support Project ▲ Basic Laboratory In-depth Research Support Project ▲ Korean Well Digging Research Support Project.
