With around 20 million cancer diagnoses worldwide each year, innovative therapeutic approaches are urgently needed. Companies such as Vidac Pharma are currently developing new ways of treating cancer that could lead to a groundbreaking breakthrough. The reason for this is the discovery of a particular enzyme and its mode of action. At the same time, a patent dispute is raging between Moderna and BioNTech, which could significantly impact the future of mRNA technology. This makes the strategic partnership between GSK and CureVac all the more important. The British company GSK is paying billions of euros for rights to COVID-19 and flu vaccines, which CureVac is to develop. During the pandemic, CureVac was noted more for its shortcomings in vaccine development. Will they achieve a breakthrough now?
