QLD government seals $280m partnership to establish mRNA vaccine research hub
The Queensland Government, one of the world's largest vaccine innovators, and two Australian universities have today announced they will collectively commit $280 million towards establishing the Translational Science Hub – a new biomedical research centre focused on developing mRNA technology – in the state.
Paris-based Sanofi will connect Australian scientists with researchers in France and the US, who will together focus on developing a world-first mRNA vaccine for sexually transmissible infection (STI) chlamydia, as well as other mRNA vaccines.
As one of the most commonly transmitted STIs in Australia, chlamydia is of increasing public health concern due to its association with infertility, pelvic inflammatory disease, and pregnancy complications.
