Mission and programs · 2023

Mission

To eliminate the risks posed by pandemic threats through the advancement of science and innovation in medical countermeasure development, ensuring the health and well-being of individuals and communities worldwide.

  • The Synthetic Innate Immunity program aims to develop medicines that serve as society's first line of defense against emerging viral outbreaks by taking inspiration from natural mechanisms of innate immunity. By encoding natural or engineered pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) and interferon-stimulated genes (ISGs) in DNA delivered to the respiratory tract, the program works to persistently enhance a patient's natural sense-and-respond capacity, potentially providing prophylactic protection against a broad range of respiratory viruses for months. During the reporting period, the program achieved several key milestones: developing assays for testing antiviral activities of drug candidates, establishing capacity to deliver nucleic acids to mice, and developing capability to conduct influenza viral challenge studies in mice.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those.
