Emergex aims to tackle the global threat of infectious disease by providing affordable and practical on-demand vaccine solutions.
Emergex Vaccines is a company pioneering a new approach to vaccine development and manufacturing using cutting-edge technologies to produce novel synthetic vaccines intended to fight against viral and bacterial infectious diseases. The company develops synthetic non-biological components that prime immune cells to destroy pathogen-infected cells for diseases that include dengue fever, zika, ebola and pandemic flu as well as serious intra-cellular bacterial infections.
Emergex aims to offer affordable, practical and effective vaccines on-demand, which are suited to low resource environments, disproportionately affected by pandemics. These vaccines will be used to create a clinical-grade international vaccine repository to act as a first line of defense in the case of existing and newly emerging infectious disease outbreaks.
