iBio announces rights grant for anthrax-plague combination vaccine

8 April 2010

USA-based iBio yesterday confirmed the grant of rights to use its proprietary technology, the iBioLaunch platform, in support of a $5.3 million government-funded project for the development of a single vaccine to protect against both anthrax and plague.

The project will be managed by Fraunhofer USA Center for Molecular Biotechnology (CMB) under a long-term agreement between the two organizations for the advancement of the iBio technology.

'We believe this program will further demonstrate the ability of our technology to produce novel products rapidly, effectively and economically,' said Robert Kay, chairman and chief executive of iBio.
