    This five-year prototype project will support AAHI’s development and optimization of “NanoAlum” – a novel nanoparticle adjuvant formulation, made from aluminum salts (“alum”).
  • Alum-adjuvanted vaccines have been less effective against diseases such as tuberculosis and influenza, which are more complex to target and can be challenging to manufacture because they require special sterilization methods.
  • AAHI’s NanoAlum formulation changes the size, shape, and charge of alum particles to enhance specific immune responses for better vaccine protection against complex diseases.
  • AAHI’s prototype project for MCDC will pair the combined 3M-052 and NanoAlum formulation with tuberculosis and pandemic influenza vaccine antigens.
