Abstract
Novel modalities of vaccine will be required to address the current and future public health concerns we face. Many infectious diseases lack clinically approved vaccines causing immense burden to the health care system both domestically and abroad. More concerningly, the prevalence of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is anticipated to rise over the coming decades and limit our tools to treat these infections. There is thus an urgent need to develop vaccinations to overcome these rising gaps in treatment and prevent infections moving forward. At Nitro Biosciences, we are developing a platform to create next-generation vaccines for diseases currently lacking clinically approved products. By harnessing an expanded genetic code, we can precisely modify antigens to enhance their immunogenicity, enabling a broadening of the scope of antigens to target in vaccine development and enhancing the potential to create efficacious vaccines where other efforts have failed.
