Aeras and CNBG in TB vaccine pact
The global fight against the tuberculosis epidemic has received a boost as USA-based Aeras and the China National Biotec Group (CNBG) announced that they have reached final agreement to jointly develop new tuberculosis (TB) vaccines.
The agreement between Aeras - the leading non-profit developer of TB vaccine candidates - and the largest biotechnology corporation in China signals a commitment by both to engage and strengthen the role of China in the fight against one of the world’s deadliest infectious disease killers, the two groups stated.
Xiaoming Yang, president of Beijing-based CNBG, said of the agreement: “CNBG has a great deal of expertise and energy to invest in this partnership. Not only is TB a public health crisis of the developing world, it is also a priority health issue here in China. We look forward to working with our counterparts at Aeras to develop new TB vaccines that will help stop tuberculosis in all corners of the world.”
