Predictive Oncology (NASDAQ: POAI), a leader in artificial-intelligence (“AI”)-driven drug discovery and biologics, is partnering with FluGen to bring a first-of-its-kind intranasal flu vaccine to market. According to the announcement, the partnership is part of a $6.2 million phase 2B grant awarded by the United States Department of Defense (“DoD”). The collaboration involves members of the Predictive Oncology biologics team focusing on developing a formulation that is soluble and stable in a refrigerated state. This type of formulation is a key component because it could meet the need for a longer vaccine shelf-life, allowing for global distribution of the vaccine, including remote locations. “We are excited to advance these efforts for an intranasal flu vaccine that will be unlike any other on the market,” said Predictive Oncology senior vice president of biologics Larry DeLucas in the press release. “Utilizing our exceptional technology and supported by our team of leading scientists, this work will allow FluGen to continue its clinical trials with greater potential to bring a more advanced and stable flu vaccine to patients.”
