April 22, 2024 – The College of Texas MD Anderson Most cancers Heart and CureVac NV introduced a joint growth and licensing settlement for the event of novel mRNA-based most cancers vaccines.

The collaboration creates robust synergies between CureVac's distinctive end-to-end capabilities in most cancers antigen discovery, mRNA design and manufacturing and MD Anderson's experience in most cancers antigen discovery and validation, translational medicines and medical analysis. The collaboration will give attention to the event of differentiated most cancers vaccine candidates for chosen hematological and strong tumor indications with excessive unmet medical want.

Each events will contribute to the identification of differentiated most cancers antigens based mostly on complete genome sequencing mixed with long- and short-read RNA sequencing and superior bioinformatics. Collaborative preclinical validation of the best high quality most cancers antigens might be supported by Sachet Shukla, Ph.D., assistant professor of Hematopoietic Biology and Malignancy and director of the division's Most cancers Vaccine Program, and by MD Anderson's ECLIPSE (Evolution of Most cancers, Leukemia, and Immunity Put up Stem cell transplantation) platform, a part of the institute's Therapeutics Discovery division.
