One of the missions of Institut Teknologi Bandung (ITB) is to become a World Class University (WCU). Central to the achievement of the mission is to create and maintain an international academic atmosphere. The School of Pharmacy contributes to the effort by organizing annual summer school programs which are open to local and foreign students, involving lecturers from overseas institutions.
The summer school program is expected to contribute to the advancement of pharmaceutical sciences and pharmacy practices through sharing of knowledge and experiences, and to promote cultural exchange among the participants. Due to the present situation, the summer school will be offered as an online lecture series, namely International Virtual Course.
This year, the School of Pharmacy offers three different virtual courses with the following topics:
a. Vaccine Development
The International Virtual Course will be held for 10 days, comprising interactive lectures and problem-based learning (PBL). Vaccine will be comprehensively discussed, starting with the basics: immune system and vaccine mechanism of action. Further, the production, formulation, and the manufacturing process of vaccines in the industry will also be studied, along with the updates in the vaccine development. One important aspect that caught the attention of the public, its halal issue, will also be a part of the explanation. The lectures will be given not only by lecturers experienced in the pharmaceutical biotechnology and vaccine development, but also practitioners from the related industry and association
