12-weeks Program: Ideal for a full immersion and comprehensive experience in serological
techniques required from regulatory bodies (e.g. FDA, EMA, PMD) to license and approve viral
vaccines, with a specific focus on respiratory viruses (e.g. Influenza, SARS-CoV-2 and others). The
program will include a study of the various techniques (up to Biosecurity Containment 2) from
both a theoretical and practical point of view.
VisMederi-srl is a private research and service company having its business in Siena (Italy) since 2009.
The core business of VisMederi relies in offering serological and immunological assay services to
pharmaceutical companies (including customized support) to assess the immunogenicity of new
vaccines, in compliance with the International Quality Standard UNI EN ISO 9001:2015; UNI CEI ISO/IEC
17025:2005 and UNI EN ISO 15189:2013. From more than 15 years, VisMederi routinely performs
analytical testing of biological samples derived from pre-clinical/clinical vaccine immunogenicity studies
and runs optimization/validation of bioanalytical methods for the pharmaceutical industry worldwide.
VisMederi offers full clinical trial and research project support from concept through to completion
based on high-quality standards, having in place a certified Quality Management System (QMS) that
follows international GCLP guidelines. Services provided include scientific, technical, and logistic
assistance for protocol design and review, samples analysis, data elaboration, release of results and
reporting.
VisMederi offers 12 weeks internship training providing a comprehensive induction and overview about
VisMederi and its work in the field of vaccines, Good Clinical Laboratory Practices (GCLP), the main
serological techniques to evaluate vaccine effectiveness along with quality aspects and data release.
During the internship the intern will learn some serological technique that are generally used to
evaluate the effectiveness of viral vaccines in general and, influenza vaccines specifically. Among these,
there will be the ELISA test, the Pseudo-types neutralization assay, a surrogate of the classic
neutralization assay performed with a non-infective particles customized in-house and that do not
require biosecurity containment, and an overview of the multiparameter testing such as Luminex and
MSD. In parallel to this, the intern will learn all the GCLP aspects in terms of Quality assurance and
documentation.
