Biological Engineering Department WebEx Seminar

Conference/Seminar

The BE Department's Seminar Series Speaker, Dr. Christopher Fox, VP of Formulations at the Infectious Disease Research Institute, will present: "From Bench to Clinic: Development of the 3M-052-Alum Vaccine Adjuvant Formulation".

April 7th at 10:30 am through WebEx

For nearly a century, aluminum salts have been the most widely used vaccine adjuvant formulation, with an established history of safety and efficacy. Nevertheless, for extremely challenging disease targets such as tuberculosis or HIV, the adjuvant activity of aluminum salts is not adequate to achieve protective efficacy. This presentation will describe a formulation approach to solving this challenge by developing a lipid-based nanosuspension of a synthetic TLR7/8 ligand (3M-052), that facilitates adsorption to aluminum oxyhydroxide (Alum) via the structural properties of the lipid excipient employed.
