The Poxvirus and Vaccine Laboratory is a partner in MVACTOR (Host immune activation
optimized vaccinia virus vectors for vaccine development),
a project funded through the 6th Framework Programme of the European Union which aims on the development of new generation potent viral
vector vaccines with optimised host immune-activating properties based on the highly attenuated modified vaccinia virus Ankara (MVA).
