Products
Clinical-stage self-amplifying RNA vaccine candidates (infectious diseases and oncology)
Pipeline of clinical and preclinical vaccine candidates based on self-amplifying RNA and cationic nanocarrier delivery for prevention or treatment of infectious diseases and cancer; targets reported in public materials include COVID-19, enterovirus D68, Zika, HIV, and candidates licensed for malaria development.
Intranasal RNA-based antiviral prophylactic candidate
Early-stage intranasal RNA therapeutic designed to act as an innate immune (RIG-I) agonist for pre-exposure or post-exposure prophylaxis against respiratory viruses; supported by grant and early funding programs.
