Singapore, May 13 -- New research led by a team of scientists in Singapore will explore whether a novel targeted delivery platform could help to increase the stability of mRNA-based vaccines and therefore help to improve global access to these lifesaving vaccines.

Norway-based Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations (CEPI) is providing up to $2.87 million to Singapore-based ACM Biolabs for preclinical proof of concept of its mRNA delivery technology, the ACM Tunable Platform (ATP), using Rabies as a model pathogen. ATP is a thermostable mRNA delivery vehicle that allows for mRNA storage at 2-8degC, in contrast to most existing mRNA delivery systems, which require ultra-low temperatures for storage.

To ensure the successful deliv...
