Roughly 100 million people are living with chronic HCV infection, and roughly 500,000 people die annually from HCV-related causes; an effective preventative vaccine for HCV would be extremely impactful. During their research, the team will employ recent advances in synthetic protein development via machine learning. They will design Virus-Like Particles (VLPs) that present selected structural features of HCV to the immune system. The VLPs will be tested for efficacy as components of both protein and mRNA vaccines. This grant also included funding for the University of Amsterdam, whose researchers are leading the project. It falls within our focus area of scientific research, specifically within our interest in advancing human health and wellbeing.
