Driving the pipeline of vaccines for 2024
We are proud to contribute to our target milestone for 2024, which is to ensure our technology will be part of at least 10 clinical phase III trials for at least 25% of the WHO listed pipeline vaccines. Despite the acceleration of the vaccine development cycle driven by the critical requirements to develop a vaccine for COVID-19, the ongoing ‘baseline’ for current clinical trials across the WHO priority diseases is currently in low single figures. For our products to be included in 10 clinical trials during 2024 sets us a significant challenge for the next few years.
The race to beat COVID-19
As COVID-19 surged across the world, our team fought against time to get critical materials ready for the worlds leading vaccines.
