Mahidol University to Begin World’s First Clinical Trial for mRNA Malaria Vaccine
Mahidol University is preparing for the first clinical trial of an mRNA vaccine targeting malaria, following successful testing on mice. The trial will start with Thai volunteers and expand to include other countries. The vaccine uses mRNA molecules, unlike traditional vaccines, and aims to combat the prevalent disease transmitted by mosquitoes. The research is expected to inspire further malaria vaccine development.
