Products
Intranasal anthrax vaccine candidate
Recombinant-protein intranasal vaccine formulated with a nanoemulsion adjuvant; evaluated in preclinical models and early-phase clinical studies for safety and immunogenicity.
Intranasal H5N1 / pandemic influenza vaccine candidate
Nanoemulsion-adjuvanted intranasal vaccine targeting pandemic influenza antigens; advanced in NIH-funded trials with reported broad immune responses and no serious adverse events in Phase 1.
Intranasal SARS-CoV-2 vaccine candidate (collaborative)
Preclinical intranasal vaccine combining stabilized spike antigen concepts with a nanoemulsion adjuvant to induce neutralizing and mucosal IgA responses in animal studies.
Intranasal genital herpes (HSV-2) vaccine candidate
Intranasal vaccine candidates evaluated in animal models for prophylactic and therapeutic effects, including reduction of recurrent lesions and viral shedding.
Intranasal peanut allergy therapeutic vaccine (preclinical)
Intranasal immunotherapy approach combining small amounts of purified peanut protein with a nanoemulsion delivery system to reprogram immune responses and reduce allergic reactions in animal models; advanced with NIH/NIAID contract funding.
Pipeline intranasal vaccines for RSV, pertussis, chlamydia and other indications
Platform-adapted intranasal candidates and preclinical programs targeting respiratory and sexually transmitted infections and selected allergic conditions.
