Vaccines and Immune Therapies

Deliver long-lasting immunity for millions of people, where the burden of disease is greatest

We are optimising the potential of both vaccines and antibodies, with a focus on developing medicines that provide effective and long-lasting immunity

We are engineering next generation vaccines combining self-amplifying RNA with novel antigen design, with the potential to generate potent and long-lasting immune responses. At the same time, we are developing highly targeted, long-acting antibodies using our proprietary half-life extension technology. This complementary approach, with vaccines providing immunity for those able to mount their own immune response, and antibody therapies for those who cannot, will ensure no patient is left behind.
