SINGAPORE - A vaccine for the Nipah virus could be on the horizon, thanks to research on a new vaccine technology.
The research project will examine the viability of a circRNA vaccine, a form of RNA vaccine technology whose potential benefits includes greater flexibility in adapting a vaccine to evolving virus strains, allowing for faster response to an outbreak. Researchers from Hilleman Laboratories and A*Star’s Genome Institute of Singapore and Bioprocessing Technology Institute will design and test different circRNA constructs to prove that the technology can work as a vaccine precursor.
“The collaboration is expected to enable the development and manufacturing of more accessible RNA vaccines, especially for developing countries,” said Hilleman.
