Smart Vaccines: the future of personalised health

Medicine is moving towards a future where treatments will no longer be the same for everyone but rather designed with the particularities of each individual in mind. Along this path, smart vaccination emerges as one of the most promising revolutions: vaccines that can adapt better to each person and respond quickly to new global health challenges.

What does it mean to talk about “smart vaccines”?

Traditionally, vaccines have been developed with a universal approach: one formula for the entire population. While they have saved millions of lives, they are not always equally effective for everyone. Factors such as genetics, age, or health conditions influence the immune response.

Smart vaccines introduce a new perspective: leveraging the capabilities of artificial intelligence and biotechnology to design solutions that are more precise, personalized, and sustainable.

From Castilla y León to the world

The Vaccination project, developed by the AIR Institute, works in this direction, researching how artificial intelligence can accelerate the design of new vaccines and open the door to more effective immunization strategies. This initiative positions Castilla y León on the international map of biotechnological innovation, showing that the future of health can also be built from the region.

Looking ahead in health

The challenge now is not only to create effective vaccines, but to do so in a faster, more accessible way, adapted to the real needs of society. Smart vaccination does not replace the progress already achieved but takes it a step further towards more personalized and precise health.

In upcoming posts, we will dive deeper into key aspects such as reverse vaccination, the role of generative AI, the importance of high-performance computing, and the ethical challenges of these technologies.
