India Clinical Research Centers  

We work with a network of independent, interconnected research centers of excellence across India  

Our clinical research center (CRC) partners in India play a central role in IAVI’s vaccine development program, testing vaccine candidates, and conducting epidemiological studies that provide critical data for vaccine design and inform the conduct of future efficacy trials.  

CRCs in India collaborate also with CRCs in five sub-Saharan African countries (Kenya, Rwanda, South Africa, Uganda, and Zambia) to share critical knowledge and strengthen research capacity in low- and middle-income countries.
