MilliporeSigma Announces Collaboration with Innovative Biotech to Support Establishment of First Vaccine Production Facility in Nigeria

MilliporeSigma, the U.S. and Canada Life Science business of Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany, a leading science and technology company, today announced the Life Science business sector has signed an agreement with biotechnology company Innovative Biotech (IB) to design the manufacturing process for the first vaccine production facility in Nigeria.

“We are committed to expanding access to life-saving and life-enhancing therapies to patients across the world and this collaboration is a testament to that commitment,” said Andrew Bulpin, Head of Process Solutions, Life Science business sector. “We are proud to provide the technical support and expertise that could help enable the first vaccine facility in Nigeria and localize vaccine development in the West Africa region.”

This collaboration is part of the West African pandemic readiness program, which aims to localize vaccine development in the African nations. The first phase of this integrated partnership focuses on designing the fill and finish facility, incorporating Mobius® single-use technology offered by the Life Science business sector, while the second phase will focus on enabling continuous manufacturing.

“By leveraging facility design expertise of the Life Science business sector, we’ll be able to build the first vaccine production facility in Nigeria and manufacture high-quality and affordable vaccines locally,” said Simon Agwale, CEO of Innovative Biotech.

Innovative Biotech’s licensor, TechnoVax, is developing a virus-like-particle (VLP)-based vaccine to target variants of Covid-19. Provisional results from the preclinical studies of the VLP-based vaccine have shown promise for virus neutralization. Technovax is a 2019 recipient of MilliporeSigma’s Advance Biotech Grant for developing a virus-like particle platform that facilitates the development and production of a range of vaccines targeting the prevention of respiratory diseases, hemorrhagic fevers, immunodeficiency and cancers.

Those benefiting from the importation and deliberate spreading of the virus will sabotage it and it will take donkey years for its actualisation.

You are proud because Nigeria has started exporting Corona vaccines to the world abi?

You are proud to be a Nigerian when Nigerian passport is ranked below 100 countries.

You are a proud Nigerian when Nigerian Naira is not among the top 10 currencies in Africa.

Let me remind you that you are among those owing China.

So, we should not manufacture vaccines because of your own personal pain, hatred and bitterness, right?

You don miss road, find something better to do with your life because hatred kills.

We are actually knowledgeable. We can do it but majority are too corrupt. Before one knows it is not functioning again after building with large imaginary funds.

Good development

Re: Nigeria Gets First Vaccine Production Facility by jericco1(m): 5:18am On Dec 15, 2021

It should be a good development but the country has demonstrated times without number that the items imported are of higher quality and cheaper than that produced and distributed within our country.

I am very happy about this news but let's be honest, this has nothing to do with the hopeless statuesque man living in the government house at asokoro.

Implementation is what we want.

Our government like celebrating blueprint. They see future tense as an achievement.

Re: Nigeria Gets First Vaccine Production Facility by Crafteck1: 7:23am On Dec 15, 2021

What a waste so Nigeria government now wants to build a covid production facility. Our young pharmacists and chemists have already abandoned all hope and started doing yahoo (and or) instagram skits, prostitution (hookup), brostitution(uncle risky) , pos business, uber, marwa transport, pastorpreneur, or selling clothes they dont have on WhatsApp, the government commits mass murder daily-killing so many dreams, why should a government official be paid more than a police, doctor, soldier or engineer and even teacher? These are the real mvps, when covid struck we saw how important even hospital cleaner is, over the years government officials have failed us continously, why exacly are the getting salaries,lets even ignore the wardrooe allowance... Etc.. If government do their job we wont need so many prisons. If they did their job we wont need 10 churches on every street selling hope/faith(heavenly items) and collecting payment in worldly currency. ONLY IF.

. Olodo, these are foreigners planning to set up a health business facility in order to produce, sell and make profit. It's not your useless government. They saw a business gap and decided to fill it for their own monetary benefits. Your useless government could not provide the most basic. What are you celebrating? Failure of your government?
