As its second bacterial target, Evaxion has chosen to develop a prophylactic vaccine against Gonorrhea, a sexually transmitted disease (STD) that has quickly developed resistance to antibiotics. We believe that Evaxion’s proprietary AI platform EDEN has identified promising antigen candidates for the vaccine based on preliminary findings in pre-clinical models.
“We are very pleased to announce that our AI platform EDEN has demonstrated the ability to identify two promising protective antigens based on very encouraging results in the pre-clinical model. Gonorrhea represents a large unmet medical need. We believe that with this vaccine, patients will be able to produce antibodies against bacterial infection - minimizing the risk of infection,” says
