On March 4, 2025, Assistant Professor Chun-Yi Lee from the Language Center led a seminar titled “Nailing Your Lit Review and Data Presentation” in IAVT.  This engaging session was designed to equip participants with the essential skills needed to craft compelling literature reviews and present data effectively. A well-structured literature review is crucial for setting the foundation of any research project, as it synthesizes existing knowledge, identifies gaps, and provides a framework for further investigation. Effective data presentation, on the other hand, ensures that findings are communicated clearly and persuasively, enhancing the impact of the research.



In this seminar, students learned how to organize and structure their literature reviews, ensuring that they were concise, well-supported by evidence, and logically coherent. Additionally, they explored strategies for presenting complex data in an engaging and accessible manner, using visual aids such as charts, graphs, and images to enhance understanding and engagement. By the end of the session, attendees were better equipped to communicate their research effectively, both in academic and professional settings, thereby enhancing their overall research presentation skills.

From April 28 to May 2, 2025, the International Degree Program in Animal Vaccine Technology (IAVT) successfully held a specialized lecture series titled “Advanced Avian Vaccine Development”, featuring guest speakers Dr. Oishi Eiji, Representative Director, and Dr. Chia-Chi Liu from Vaxxinova Japan K.K.

The five-day event provided IAVT students with valuable insights into the principles and practices of veterinary vaccine development, with a particular focus on avian species. The lectures began with an overview of avian diseases and the structure of the global poultry industry, highlighting the importance of vaccine innovation in disease prevention and food security. The speakers then delved into various vaccine types, including live attenuated and vector vaccines, explaining their mechanisms, advantages in inducing strong immune responses, and strategic use in preventing major poultry diseases. They further explored the characteristics and practical applications of killed and subunit vaccines, which offer high safety profiles and targeted immunity but require careful formulation and adjuvant support to achieve full efficacy. Emphasis was also placed on key formulation components such as adjuvants, stabilizers, and other excipients, which play a critical role in enhancing immune response, ensuring vaccine stability, and extending shelf life. The discussion extended into the industrial perspective, outlining the process of veterinary vaccine development in the pharmaceutical sector—from early-stage research and antigen design, through preclinical evaluation and regulatory approval, to large-scale production and distribution. Throughout the sessions, students gained a comprehensive view of the technical, scientific, and commercial considerations involved in bringing effective animal vaccines to market. The lecture series concluded with student presentations and an engaging discussion session, providing a platform for participants to apply their knowledge and exchange ideas directly with the visiting experts.
