ExpreS2ion Biotechnologies: AdaptVac, Part of Consortium Receiving USD 12.4M in Grants
ExpreS2ion today announced that its associated company, AdaptVac (in which ExpreS2ion holds a 34% ownership), has been selected to lead a consortium that has been awarded a USD 12.4 million grant from CEPI and the European Union’s Horizon Europe Program. The grant will support the development of a novel vaccine designed to provide all-in-one protection against multiple deadly filoviruses. The project is expected to run over the next five years, including planned Phase I/II trials.
This announcement follows the latest news from AdaptVac, with an article published on May 14th in Nature Nanotechnology, titled "A Modular mRNA Vaccine Platform Encoding Antigen-Presenting Capsid Virus-Like Particles Enhances the Immunogenicity of the Malaria Antigen Pfs25." The study in mice demonstrated that by adding an additional genetic code to the current mRNA vaccine, the immune system could be stimulated to produce a stronger and longer-lasting response. This advancement could address the limitations of mRNA vaccines, particularly their inability to generate durable humoral immunity.
This breakthrough was also highlighted in a press release issued today and covered by several news outlets.
In our latest One-Pager analysis, one of the key investment reasons we highlighted is that ongoing news flow regarding partnership agreements and ExpreS2ion's ownership of AdaptVac may indicate that the market is undervaluing these assets.
