 Vaccines
are among the greatest advances in modern medicine. Thanks to
their development and cost-effectiveness, crippling diseases like
smallpox and polio are now footnotes in history. However, millions
of people worldwide are still plagued by today's infectious diseases,
which have proven more difficult to restrain. Emory University
has underscored its commitment to world leadership in the fight
against these modern killers in its assembly of one of the largest
centers ever created to forge new vaccine strategies. The dedicated
researchers there hope to make some of the world's most challenging
health problems--AIDS, malaria, tuberculosis, influenza, and respiratory
illnesses--a thing of the past.
