ICMR Opens Door for Commercial Production of Next-Gen Malaria Vaccine

Ardorcomm news

The Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) has announced a major step forward in the fight against malaria by inviting expressions of interest (EoI) from eligible companies and manufacturers for the commercial production of a breakthrough malaria vaccine, AdFalciVax. Developed by the ICMR’s Regional Medical Research Centre in Bhubaneswar, this recombinant chimeric multi-stage vaccine targets Plasmodium falciparum, the deadliest malaria parasite, offering both individual protection and reduced community transmission. Pre-clinical validation of the vaccine technology was carried out in collaboration with ICMR-NIMR (National Institute of Malaria Research), other ICMR institutes, and the National Institute of Immunology in Delhi, which operates under the Department of Biotechnology. ICMR-RMRCBB will provide technical know-how and hands-on support throughout the vaccine production process to ensure a smooth and efficient pathway to commercialisation. Furthermore, ICMR’s team of seasoned scientists will assist in product development, study design, protocol development, data and results analysis, efficacy and safety assessments, and necessary improvements, based on mutual agreement with the collaborating partner. This initiative marks a significant stride in India’s effort to eliminate malaria through indigenous innovation and collaborative biotech development. Source: PTI
