More Durable Protection
The TechImmune approach targets conserved viral genes as components of a superior next-generation SARS-CoV-2 vaccine, with strong potential to provide broader and more durable protection against variants of concern compared to the standard of care spike-only vaccines.
EST. 2021
TechImmune is advancing the development of a next-generation, broad-spectrum COVID vaccine, designed to obviate the necessity for frequent updating and recurrent boosting that characterize existing vaccines. Our innovative strategy targets multiple antigens to elicit a comprehensive immune response, involving both antibody and T cell activation, in contrast to conventional vaccines that utilize the Spike protein to induce neutralizing antibodies. TechImmune's Coronavirus vaccine encompasses a more advanced approach to enhance long-lasting immunity and disrupt the current booster paradigm.
