Developing new vaccines represents a lengthy, intense and resource challenge, incentivizing multiple actors to collaborate from the design to the approval of the vaccine.

Q-VANT thanks the will of patients and subjects involved in the development of immunizations, without whom no vaccines would be authorized.

Q-VANT Biosciences welcomes inquiries and seeks collaborations with the industry, academics, and public health in support of the development of vaccines incorporating saponin adjuvants.

Open-access to sustainable, scaling-up manufacturing

Saponin-based adjuvants have traditionally been derived from Quillaja bark and for licensing but are now accessible from sustainable and cost-effective biomass and for open-access. Q-VANT’s technology ensures a secure supply of saponins, as well as the guarantee that no Quillaja trees are felled. QS-21 and other saponin adjuvants can be directly sourced from Q-VANT secure manufacturing process and renewable biomass sourcing. Q-VANT’s manufacturing facilities are located in United States and Chile, ready for a further rapid expansion.
