ZEPAI

Center for Pandemic Vaccines and Therapeutics

Vaccines are among the most effective tools in the fight against the spread of pathogens. In the early phase of a pandemic, therapeutics can mitigate severe courses of a pandemic infectious disease. Preparing optimally for future pandemics, the German Federal Ministry of Health (Bundesministerium für Gesundheit, BMG) has established the Center for Pandemic Vaccines and Therapeutics – ZEPAI – at the Paul-Ehrlich-Institut (PEI).
