Bioinspired inorganic nanoparticles-based mRNA antiviral vaccines
Acronym
BIGMAC
Description of the granted funding
New viruses or variants of known viruses will inevitably appear from time to time. Thus, it is extremely important to develop a novel versatile strategy for vaccine design to be prepared for the novel threats. The proposed project aims to develop robust bioinspired nanoplatforms for the delivery of mRNA with virus-like porous nanoparticles. In addition to defeating SARS-CoV-2, the bioinspired vaccine approach can be easily adapted by changing the mRNA delivered to fight emerging SARS-CoV-2 variants or other emerging viruses.
