MINNEAPOLIS, June 25 (Bernama-GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — ADX Labs, Inc. has donated $100,000 to the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations (CEPI) to speed the development of COVID-19 vaccines. The donation was made by ADX Labs’ charitable arm, the ADX Foundation.
CEPI, which the journal Nature called “by far the largest vaccine development initiative ever against viruses that are potential epidemic threats,” has moved quickly to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic. To date, CEPI has funded a diverse portfolio of nine vaccine candidates against COVID-19, with the ambition of developing a safe, effective and globally accessible vaccine within a 12-18-month timeframe. To increase their chances of success, CEPI has also recently opened a new funding opportunity focusing on additional vaccine candidates that have the potential to be developed rapidly and manufactured globally at scale.
