Accessible to all

 

To address unmet medical needs of underserved populations and to prepare for future pandemics, we work with every part of the world to advance the discovery, development, scale-up, and manufacturing of vaccines and therapeutics.

We aim to make RNA products more accessible to low- and middle-income countries and believe that local needs are best addressed when we partner locally from the very beginning of the product research and development process.

In our plant health development process, we are committed to engaging with local agencies, agricultural partners, and academic institutions to create solutions to protect regional crops from relevant pests.

We are establishing a global network of partnerships and workforce development to advance research and manufacturing of effective and selective solutions targeting local pests.

Global partnerships

We actively seek to partner with local companies in Africa, Asia, and Latin America to advance equitable access to messenger RNA vaccines and therapeutics targeting regionally prevalent diseases.

These partnerships aim to develop skills and capabilities to research, develop, make, and commercialize messenger RNA products.
