Researchers will...
This Project Grant award, funded by the U.S. Department of Agriculture's (USDA) Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) with a total of $649,896, aims to develop an mRNA vaccine cocktail against influenza A viruses (IAV) that pose significant economic and pandemic threats to livestock and human populations. The University of Illinois, as the primary awardee, will initially characterize the candidate mRNA-peptide nanoparticle (mRNA-PNP) vaccine in cell culture models and then assess its...
The University of Missouri System, under a $650,000 project grant from the USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program, is developing safe and effective live attenuated swine influenza vaccines using Newcastle disease virus (NDV) as the vector. The project aims to address the challenges with current swine influenza vaccines, which often fail to provide cross-protection against diverse virus strains. The key products and...
