New Technologies In Manufacturing Flu Vaccines
Influenza is a deadly disease and none of the drugs that have been developed to treat it work well. The only effective way to prevent influenza is luck and vaccination. Unfortunately, most of the technology for producing flu vaccines is outdated, based on growing flu viruses in chicken eggs. This old technology is slow and is likely to fail if a new strain of influenza develops that kills birds and their eggs along with infecting humans.
Fortunately, there are a number of promising new approaches to making better flu vaccines and for making them faster and cheaper. Will investors be able to benefit from this innovation? It could be that with patience these small companies could give excellent returns on investment. The safest bet, of course, is to invest in big drug companies that also make vaccines to prevent influenza such as Sanofi-Aventis or GlaxoSmithKline, but better investment returns might be found in some of the smaller companies.
Novavax, Inc is a Maryland-based company using a novel insect cell technology for the development of vaccines for both influenza and measles. Initial safety data from human trials is encouraging, even though this company's products are still in the early stages of testing. Insect cells are likely to be resistant to flu viruses that can harm eggs.
A different approach is in development by iBioPharma Inc, in Newark, Delaware. iBiopharma is allied with the international nonprofit organization Fraunhofer U.S.A. Center for Molecular Biotechnology, and is developing vaccines for influenza produced in green plants. The technology is supported by grants from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundations as well as from government contracts. As with insect cells, plant cells should not be adversely affected by viruses that are harmful to eggs, and there are additional advantages in speed and cost with plant based technologies.
Although investing in biotechnology is frequently a risky proposition, one advantage of these companies is that their products are very likely to work, so the risk of unproven therapeutic performance or safety is much lower than other types of biotechnology investments. The upside for early investors in these companies could be substantial if they obtain FDA approval for their innovative manufacturing methods.
