University of Queensland launches $2.2 million MRNA vaccine research facility
The University of Queensland is launching a multimillion-dollar pilot facility aimed at producing new MRNA vaccines in Australia. Traditionally vaccines use a small amount of a germ or virus which is either inactive or weakened to trigger an immune response. In contrast MRNA vaccines, such as those produced by Pfizer and Moderna, do not require any virus or germ but teach your body how to fight viruses using other mechanisms. The cost of the $2.2 million facility is being shared by the University and the federal government. UQ is currently working on a vaccine which was under development last year and will not yet focus on the newer technology.
