• AI-powered target discovery for a bacterial pathogen with a high medical need where no vaccine is currently available 
• Evaxion’s proprietary AI-platforms EDEN™ and RAVEN™ will be utilized for rapid design of a completely novel vaccine candidate capable of eliciting both a humoral (antibody) and cellular immune response to the pathogen
• Collaborative and co-funded project between two companies with strong scientific alignment and complementary skill sets and capabilities
• This collaboration underlines Evaxion’s strategic focus of harnessing the power of AI to identify new targets significantly more efficiently than traditional methods

To develop an effective vaccine, Evaxion has initiated discovery activities for EVX-B3 using both its EDEN™ and RAVEN™ AI platforms to identify protective antigens capable of eliciting both a humoral (antibody) and cellular response to the pathogen. EVX-B3 aims to address a serious global medical issue, targeting a pathogen associated with repeated infections, increasing incidence and often serious medical complications, and for which no vaccines are currently available. The project will be a collaborative and co-funded effort between the two companies.

Evaxion’s Chief Scientific Officer, Birgitte Rønø, states: “We are thrilled to announce our upcoming collaboration, aimed at jointly investigating the capabilities of our AI platforms to design a groundbreaking vaccine targeting this specific pathogen. We strongly believe that this collaboration will further validate the power of AI to benefit global health through the design of unique vaccines against serious medical conditions.”
