Improved vaccines, cutting-edge mRNA medicines and accelerated drug production are at the heart of a new funding project in the U.K., where 17 companies have been selected for government grants to explore better ways to produce pharmaceuticals.
The companies are set to receive 13 million pounds sterling (about $16.6 million) from the Transformative Medicine Manufacturing program by Innovate UK, the U.K.’s innovation agency. The cash will be used to fuel a bevy of projects focused on nucleic acid medicines, intracellular drug delivery, digitalization and more.
