The Sealy Institute for Vaccine Sciences

In December 2001 the Sealy Center for Vaccine Development (SCVD) was established at UTMB. In January 2018, vaccine research and development expanded at UTMB with the inauguration of the Sealy Institute for Vaccine Sciences (SIVS). The SIVS will help support and guide the development of prophylactic and therapeutic vaccines at UTMB.
