Vaccines for the world's most deadly diseases, like cancer and heart disease, will likely be ready by 2030 and could save millions of lives, according to the top doctor at one the world's leading drug companies.
The announcement is yet another sign of what many are calling “the golden age” of vaccine development, which is largely credited to the pandemic’s use of mRNA technology to create COVID-19 vaccines.
The FDA recently designated two new Moderna vaccines as breakthrough therapies: a shot that prevents respiratory syncytial virus in older people, and a shot that helps prevent the recurrence of melanoma, which is a deadly skin cancer. The FDA’s breakthrough designation is given when a new treatment’s early trial results are substantially better than an existing therapy.
Burton anticipates that mRNA technology will result in breakthroughs such as a cancer vaccine that can be personalized based on the features of a specific tumor.
