Overview
Company Summary
CureVac N.V. is a biopharmaceutical company that focuses on the development of mRNA-based vaccines, therapeutics, and prophylactics. mRNA (messenger RNA) is a type of genetic material that carries instructions for the production of proteins within cells. CureVac leverages this technology to develop innovative products that target various diseases and conditions.
The company's primary focus is on developing mRNA vaccines, which have gained significant attention and recognition in recent years. mRNA vaccines work by instructing cells in the body to produce specific proteins that trigger an immune response.

They target conditions such as cancer, rare diseases, metabolic disorders, and other medical areas with high unmet needs. The use of mRNA as a therapeutic agent offers the advantage of precise and customizable treatment options.
CureVac's research and development efforts involve designing and optimizing mRNA sequences, developing delivery technologies, conducting preclinical and clinical studies, and scaling up manufacturing processes.
The company operates as a biotech pioneer, constantly advancing the understanding and application of mRNA technology. Their goal is to provide safe, effective, and accessible solutions that address significant health challenges through the power of mRNA-based products.
