ROCKETVAX

Pioneering Next-Gen Vaccines for a Healthier Future RocketVax AG, a Swiss biotech firm established in 2020, originated from a collaboration between Swiss Rockets AG, Gigabases Switzerland AG, and top researchers from Swiss and German renowned institutions. Together, we aim to revolutionize disease prevention through next-generation vaccine development. In partnership with leading research centers, RocketVax has created three innovative, live-attenuated SARS-CoV-2 vaccines using cutting-edge reverse genetic engineering technology: - RVX-sCPD9 – slow-replicating SARS-CoV-2 vaccine - RVX-OTS228 – normal-to-stop replicating SARS-CoV-2 vaccine - RVX-13 – replication-incompetent SARS-CoV-2 vaccine Administered nasally, these vaccines stimulate potent mucosal immunity, producing neutralizing antibodies and T-immune cells for comprehensive, enduring protection against the SARS-CoV-2 and its variants. Following clinical trial validation, these next-gen COVID-19 vaccines have the potential to dominate the seasonal vaccine market. The renowned institutions involved in the collaboration with RocketVax AG include: 1. University of Basel 2. University Hospital Basel 3. Swiss Tropical and Public Health Institute in Basel 4. University of Zurich 5. ETH Zurich 6. University of Bern 7. Swiss Federal Institute of Virology and Immunology 8. University of Geneva 9. University Hospital Geneva 10. Freie Universität Berlin 11. Friedrich Loeffler Institute, Federal Research Institute of Animal Health of Germany
