Abstract

Abion is collaborating with Raphas to develop a DNA vaccine for COVID-19 using a microarray patch combined with a portable electroporation device (eMAP) and powered by an integrated battery. This unique combination of various technologies of DNA vaccine, microarray patch and electroporation could lead to significant advancement in delivery methods for DNA vaccines. If validated, the platform technology has the potential to enable the rapid production of DNA vaccines for future COVID-19 variants and other diseases.
