#67 - How AI Helps Make mRNA Vaccines Thermostable
The most exciting mRNA vaccine upgrade might not be a new target, it might be a new shelf life. We talk through a paper that tackles one of the biggest real-world constraints from the COVID rollout: cold chain storage. When doses must stay ultra-cold from factory to clinic, distribution gets expensive, fragile, and uneven. If we can make an mRNA vaccine thermostable at room temperature, we can reduce waste, cut logistics costs, and expand access in places that cannot maintain specialized freezers.
We also get into a second unlock that surprised us: solid-state formulations that could fit into…
