Marburg is an Ebola-like weaponized by hostile forces. Working directly with the United States Department of Defense, we are developing FlowVax Marburg, a prophylactic nebulized biomedicine to protect at-risk military forces and civilians.
FlowVax Marburg Vaccine Development is funded by the United States Department of Defense Chemical and Biological Defense Program.
Most vaccines are designed to generate an antibody response. Our FlowVax peptide vaccine platform is being designed to induce T-cells to attack viruses and cancer markers expressed on the surface of the patient’s cells. We believe that Flow Pharma’s Artificial Intelligence (“AI”) augmented techniques can enable us to find the most susceptible sites on the Marburg virus for attack by the patient’s immune system.
