Afrigen Biologics (Pty) Ltd

CEPI partners with Afrigen to speed up #mRNAvaccine development and access. 🧬    In a US$2.05 million CEPI-funded project, #researchers at Afrigen Biologics, a South African biotech company that is home to the #mRNA Technology Transfer Programme, will explore whether optimised synthetic DNA can help to reduce mRNA vaccine development timelines for emergency use in the event of a disease outbreak. The CEPI-Afrigen partnership supports the 100 Days Mission—a goal embraced by leaders of the G7 and G20 to reduce #vaccinedevelopment timelines to a little over three months in response to a pandemic threat.    Visit the link for the full press release ⏬  https://lnkd.in/ddvF_eKY    CEPI (Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations)  @Afrigenbiologics Syngoi Technologies

🔹Evaxion Biotech A/S obtains pre-clinical Proof-of-Concept for #mRNA Gonorrhea vaccine candidate EVX-B2🔹    🔬New pre-clinical data demonstrates that the novel EVX-B2 mRNA #vaccine candidate triggers a targeted immune response  🔬The specific immune response leads to the elimination of the gonorrhea bacteria  🔬The data confirm that Evaxion’s AI-Immunology™ platform is delivery modality agnostic    ⏬ ⏬  This new data, which will be presented today at the 18th Vaccine Congress taking place in Lisbon, Portugal, provides strong Proof-of-Concept (PoC) for the mRNA-based version of EVX-B2 in a pre-clinical setting.  EVX-B2 was initially designed as a protein-based prophylactic vaccine candidate for which pre-clinical PoC has already been obtained. The novel pre-clinical data for the mRNA-version of the vaccine substantiates that AI-Immunology™ identified vaccine antigens are delivery modality agnostic and can be applied across different vaccine modalities. The new data has been generated in collaboration with Afrigen Biologics (Pty) Ltd.    Read more: https://lnkd.in/d_XbPBAz
