Our expertise on fighting pandemics
We are leveraging Janssen's proven AdVac® and PER.C6® technologies, which provide the ability to rapidly upscale production.
These are the same technologies that were used in the development and manufacturing of Janssen’s investigational Ebola vaccine, which is currently deployed in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Rwanda, and were also used to construct the Company’s Zika, RSV and HIV vaccine candidates.
