Soligenix, in collaboration with the University of Hawaiʻi, plans to apply for funding from CEPI to develop a thermostable protein subunit vaccine targeting the Bundibugyo virus (BDBV). Their vaccine platform, proven effective and stable against related filoviruses like Ebola and Marburg, offers advantages such as heat stability and ease of distribution, critical for outbreak regions in Africa. The ongoing Bundibugyo outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo and Uganda, declared a Public Health Emergency, underscores the urgent need for such vaccines. If funded, this project could accelerate vaccine availability to combat this deadly virus with high mortality and limited current treatment options.
