Development of a novel Virus Like Particle (VLP) vaccine
- The Prevent-nCov project aimed at developing a novel vaccine candidate against COVID-19. -
A viral genome recoded with an unnatural base pair
- Next to A, C, T and G, the genetic code can be expanded through the addition of novel molecules, so-called unnatural bases (UBs). This project will... -
Process development of recombinant AAV manufacturing using the Baculovirus Expression System
