know-how to help in the global response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The company is leveraging its DNA vaccine expertise within oncology to produce a next-generation vaccine aimed at creating effective and long-lasting immune responses to SARS-CoV-2. Scancell initiated its COVIDITY program in collaboration with scientists at the University of Nottingham and Nottingham Trent University.
the development of cancer vaccines
to treat established cancers has been more challenging. The main goal is to increase the activity of the immune response against tumor cells, and this requires the induction of high-avidity, cytotoxic T cells. Scancell has developed two complementary vaccine platform technologies to address these issues: Moditope® and ImmunoBody®
Scancell has used
its proven ImmunoBody®
vaccine concept to design a vaccine against
SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19.
Scancell works actively with partners and collaborators
