They have all received funding from the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations , an international body established to finance costly biotechnology research.In a French-language interview with AFP, Bancel also described the technology Moderna was using in its approach.– ‘Master the technology’ –

“For the coronavirus, we are working with the US National Institutes of Health . They acquired the virus’ sequence from the Chinese government, then the NIH and our teams analysed it to understand the protein structures, which are different from other viruses. “The challenge is that it could quickly be given to millions of people. The responsibility for its safety is therefore very important. Even going quickly with technolgy like mRNA, no manufacturer will be able to have a vaccine ready by the summer, or even by the autumn.”

“It is very had to predict today if the situation will be serious in the fall or if the virus will have disappeared. “There is a risk that the product does not work, because biotechnology is complicated. There is also a risk that another solution is found before we do and that it becomes the blockbuster product that everyone prescribes.
