A protein-based COVID-19 vaccine that mimics the shape of the virus

The Pharma Data

Even as several safe and effective COVID-19 vaccines are being administered to people worldwide, scientists are still hard at work developing different vaccine strategies that could provide even stronger or longer-lasting immunity against SARS-CoV-2 and its variants.

mRNA Therapeutics and mRNA Vaccines Industry: Current Scenario and Future Trends

Roots Analysis

It is important in the process of protein synthesis because mRNA is responsible for transferring genetic information from DNA to ribosomes, which then decodes the genetic information into a protein. In the last few years, researchers have become interested in using in vitro transcribed (IVT) mRNA as a drug delivery agent.

Lab to jab in 100 days: manufacturing flexibility for future rapid responses

Pharmaceutical Technology

Vaccines are our number one weapon in the fight against infectious diseases, but their development has historically involved a long and complex process taking up to a decade. Before COVID-19, Merck held the record for the fastest modern vaccine ever developed. mRNA’s potential for rapid vaccine delivery.

Transforming Biomanufacturing: Potential of Cell Free Systems

Roots Analysis

Overview of Cell Free Systems Cell-free systems are ­in-vitro platforms which allow occurrence of biochemical reactions in the absence of living cells. Additionally, these types of cell free systems do not contain proteases and nucleases as crude cell lysates, which further helps in improving the production of many proteins.

Roche launches new quantitative antibody test to measure SARS-CoV-2 antibodies, to support the evaluation of vaccines

The Pharma Data

The test targets antibodies against the spike protein. This is the focus of vaccines in development and convalescent plasma therapy. The majority of current candidate vaccines aim to induce an antibody response against the spike protein. “As said Thomas Schinecker, CEO Roche Diagnostics.
