MedImmune Licenses Flu Vaccine Technology To Novartis
MedImmune, Inc. (Gaithersburg, MD, www.medimmune.com), has licensed its proprietary reverse genetics intellectual property to Novartis (Basel, Switzerland, www.novartisvaccines.com), to support the development and construction of new vaccine strains to produce inactivated human seasonal, pre-pandemic, and pandemic influenza vaccines.
MedImmune, Inc. (Gaithersburg, MD, www.medimmune.com), has licensed its proprietary reverse genetics intellectual property to Novartis (Basel, Switzerland, www.novartisvaccines.com), to support the development and construction of new vaccine strains to produce inactivated human seasonal, pre-pandemic, and pandemic influenza vaccines. By using reverse genetics, viruses like influenza can be generated from segments of DNA. For prospective pandemic influenza vaccines, reverse genetics can be a useful technology because the process does not require manufacturers to work directly with potentially highly infectious pandemic strains, such as H5N1, rather only segments of the virus's genome.
Mastering Antibody-Drug Conjugates
December 19th 2024In this episode, we explore BIOVECTRA’s capabilities in antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) manufacturing, from complex conjugation chemistry to synthesis of highly potent payloads. We’ll also showcase how BIOVECTRA’s extensive experience in complex chemistries and specialized small molecule manufacturing gives them a unique perspective, strengthening their approach to ADC production and ensuring clients receive custom solutions across all project stages.
