One obstacle in developing safer and more potent adjuvants is the lack of understanding about adjuvant mechanisms. Significant progress has been made in the last two decades in elucidation of mechanisms of commonly used adjuvants. Despite these advances, a complete understanding about their action mechanisms is still elusive. This project takes advantage of omics techniques […]

mRNA evolves as a novel vaccine platform with unique advantages, such as quick production, low risk of genome integration, and high immunogenicity as can be seen from Moderna and Pfizer mRNA-based Covid-19 vaccines. Due to its high immunogenicity, no adjuvants have been added to further boost mRNA vaccine efficacy. Yet, adjuvants may be needed to […]
