“It would be hard to forget the work we did on a Phase 1/2 COVID-19 Vaccine Study investigating a Nanoparticle Vaccine directed against the SARS-CoV-2 Spike Protein. Being part of the global effort to find a safe and effective solution for the pandemic always gives a great sense of pride - especially in appreciating the level of collaboration and commitment our teams demonstrated. Always brings warmth whenever I reflect on the dedication that each and every member of the Clinical Trial Process, including the Trial Participants, contributed and should be proud to represent.”
