Is cell-free the future of vaccine development?
As the world emerges from the COVID-19 pandemic, the focus on rapid and effective vaccine development to address new and re-emerging diseases has never been stronger. Virus-like particles (VLPs) show promise as an alternative to traditional vaccine platforms as they trigger a strong and lasting immune response, with fewer safety concerns and higher stability than existing vaccine technologies.
In this 30 minute webinar, our speaker, Jorge Armero Gimenez, will present his work on expression and assembly of immunogenic VLPs using a high-yielding cell-free protein synthesis system at scales useful to vaccine development.
