PopVax is an Indian fullstack biotechnology company developing novel mRNA vaccines and therapeutics using computational protein design. Our first vaccine is a nextgeneration COVID19 booster which will enter a firstinhuman Phase I clinical trial in the U.S. early this year. This vaccine is intended to broaden protection against both current and predicted future SARSCoV2 variants reducing the possibility of a new mutation in the virus suddenly causing another massive wave of infection. We have a preclinical pipeline of 6 additional novel vaccine candidates built on our mRNALNP platform that we will be taking into clinical trials over the next few years. Our work to date has been funded primarily via project agreements totalling 10 million USD with the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and Vitalik Buterin's public health & biosecurity organisation Balvi.
We have seen up close that there are incredible capabilities in vaccine design testing and optimization just waiting to be unlocked that will enable us to pursue and perhaps even succeed at realizing wildly ambitious agendas such as ending TB preventing future pandemics via broadlyprotective vaccines tackling the deadly scourge of antimicrobial resistance eliminating debilitating degenerative diseases like multiple sclerosis and curing fiendishly tricky chronic conditions such as ME/CFS and Long COVID. We are initiating multiple new vaccine programs this year to go after a number of these opportunities.
We are seeking an Senior Executive QC (Analytical LCMS) to join our team in Hyderabad (note: inperson only; we do not offer remote work) to play a key role in helping develop optimize and document analytical protocols and assays for our mRNALNP vaccines and therapeutics.
