Non-shark derived, engineered by synthetic biology. Our Squalene has superior purity, naturally setting it apart on the market.
An innovative alternative to shark-derived squalene using synthetic biology
There is a significant need for a highly purified alternative to shark-derived squalene to meet the requirements of the vaccine industry. To mitigate the devastating impact on deep-sea shark populations, we are proud to offer a sustainably sourced, sugar-derived Squalene carrying the same benefits as shark-derived squalene.
What is squalene? And why is there a strong need for vaccine formulations?
Squalene is an organic compound with powerful bioactive properties. As a naturally occurring oil, squalene has successfully been used in various emulsion-based vaccine adjuvant formulations. They do not only initiate potent innate and adaptive immune responses but also have established safety records. This has ignited interest in squalene and inspired the search for more sustainable alternatives.
Squalene-based emulsions
Squalene-based emulsions are used in licensed seasonal and pandemic influenza vaccines. Furthermore, there are clinical development projects for prophylactic vaccines ongoing, for example those against tuberculosis, shingles, schistosomiasis, HIV and other severe diseases, combining squalene with a TLR4 agonist in their emulsion adjuvant.
