MYMX has agreed on a research project with Sanofi Pasteur, the vaccine division of Sanofi (NYSE: SNY). The project will investigate the immunogenicity of influenza vaccines based on Mymetics' proprietary virosome technology platform in pre-clinical settings. If this project is successful it could result in a further and more extensive collaboration between the two companies.
"We are very excited to start this initial collaboration project with Sanofi, a world leader in the vaccine industry," said Ronald Kempers, CEO of Mymetics. "We look forward to show that our proprietary virosome technology and more than 30 years of virosome vaccines expertise can make a valuable difference in improving the effectiveness and cost competitiveness of influenza vaccines."
