New viruses or variants of known viruses will inevitably appear from time to time. Thus, it is extremely important to develop a novel versatile strategy for vaccine design to be prepared for the novel threats. The proposed project aims to develop robust bioinspired nanoplatforms for the delivery of mRNA with virus-like porous nanoparticles. In addition to defeating SARS-CoV-2, the bioinspired vaccine approach can be easily adapted by changing the mRNA delivered to fight emerging SARS-CoV-2 variants or other emerging viruses.
