Medicago and Genopole sign agreement for influenza vaccine production in France
Genopole(R) and Medicago will work together to establish a commercial-scale facility based on Medicago's Proficia(TM) plant-based manufacturing technology and VLP vaccine technology on Genopole(R)'s site in Evry, France. The new facility would initially produce pandemic and seasonal influenza vaccines, and in the long-term could be used for a broad range of vaccines and other biodefense related products. Construction of the facility is conditional upon Medicago's successful completion of a Phase I clinical trial with its H5N1 pandemic influenza vaccine and a reasonable level of commitment by the French authorities to support this novel technology.
