Technology Readiness Levels for vaccine and drug development in animal health: From discovery to life cycle management

This publication, titled "Technology Readiness Levels for vaccine and drug development in animal health: From discovery to life cycle management," explores the use of Technology Readiness Levels (TRL) to monitor the maturity of new technologies in animal health. The paper discusses how the TRL scale, widely used in research and innovation, can be adapted to the animal health industry for developing vaccines and drugs. By aligning TRL stages with industrial development phases, the authors propose the TRL for Animal Health (TRLAH) framework, which enhances collaboration between public and private sectors, facilitates funding allocation, and promotes the translation of research into innovative animal health produc
