Anton Pavlyukov, Director for Acceleration of the Biological and Medical Technologies Cluster of the Skolkovo Foundation:

“New members of the cluster means new ideas, solutions, and experience exchange. Currently, the cluster pays particular attention to developments pointed at combating the COVID-19 pandemic. We often form projects in this field, when large industrial partners support our residents. We congratulate our colleagues and look forward to the soonest appearance of an innovative vaccine!”

“Immolab was created to develop innovative biotechnological medicinal preparations, primarily vaccines. The work is currently underway to create a vaccine against COVID-19 based on a unique recombinant protein molecule with a binary function. It is essential that the technological platform on which the development is taking place can be used to work on vaccines against influenza and other infections, where achieving long-term protection of the body is the most challenging goal. This platform will contribute a great deal to import substitution and maintain the country’s epidemiological security,” as comments Timofey Nemankin, Deputy General Director of NANOLEK for Research and Development.
