Vaccines on Demand: Science Fiction or a Future Reality
In 2015, three employees of Novartis Vaccines published a paper in Expert Opinion on Drug Discovery entitled: Vaccines on Demand: Science Fiction or a Future Reality. This talk will describe the events and data leading up to this publication, starting with the initiation of the self-amplifying mRNA (SAM) vaccines platform in 2008 at the Novartis Vaccines US R&D facility in Cambridge Massachusetts. It will conclude with an overview of what has happen since 2015 and the prospects for vaccines on demand.
