Needle-Free Vaccine Platform Receives US Patent
A needle-free vaccine platform that elicits a robust immune response against a wide array of viruses and bacteria has been awarded a US patent (#7,314,624 B2), held by the University of Michigan (Ann Arbor, MI).
A needle-free vaccine platform that elicits a robust immune response against a wide array of viruses and bacteria has been awarded a US patent (#7,314,624 B2), held by the University of Michigan (Ann Arbor, MI). NanoBio Corporation (Ann Arbor, MI), a spin-off from the university, has licensed the patent and its associated technology.
The intranasal vaccines, produced using NanoBio’s nanoemulsion platform technology, have elicited a dramatic immune response in animals vaccinated against influenza, anthrax, hepatitis B, and other diseases. In some cases, the immune response is exponentially higher than what is required to provide adequate protection against infection, Nanobio says. Such dramatic levels of immunity would confer significantly higher levels of protection to the vaccinated population at large compared with current injectable vaccines.
The Solution Lies with SOLBIOTE™: Achieving Sustainability, a Growing Focus in Biopharma
October 28th 2024The nexus between biopharmaceuticals and sustainability is seemingly far apart, however, it is increasingly recognized as an inevitable challenge. It is encouraged to take a sustainable approach to reducing the environmental impact of the production and supply of medicines while improving people's health; delivering the well-being of people and the planet. Yosuke Shimojo (Technical Value Support Section Manager, Nagase Viita) will unveil how SOLBIOTE™, a portfolio of injectable-grade saccharide excipients, would be a key for the biopharmaceutical development and achieving sustainability for a better future of the industry.
