PlantPharm BioMed
Developer of a plant-based platform for production and oral delivery of vaccines and biopharmaceuticals. The platform uses genetically stable, clonal propagation in plants to express vaccine antigens and other therapeutic proteins, enabling shelf-stable oral solid dose formulations (tablets, capsules) for humans and pelletized feed for animals. The organization has supported this approach with >30 years of R&D, field testing and a double-blind human clinical trial of an oral Hepatitis B vaccine, and is engaged in government-collaborative projects for animal vaccine development.
