ICMR seeks partners for development, commercialisation of typhoid and paratyphoid vaccine
New Delhi: The Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) has called for proposals for the joint development and commercialization of a vaccine against typhoid and paratyphoid, calling for expressions of interest from eligible organizations, companies, and manufacturers.
According to an IANS report, “ICMR, New Delhi invites Expression of Interest (EoI) from the eligible organisations, companies, and manufacturers for undertaking ‘Joint development and commercialisation’ of typhoid and paratyphoid vaccine,” read a statement from the apex research body.
The EoI seeks partners to "validate the vaccine technology” developed at ICMR- National Institute for Research in Bacterial Infections (NIRBI), Kolkata; and then develop the typhoid and paratyphoid vaccine against typhoid-causing pathogens like Salmonella Typhi, Salmonella Paratyphi and Salmonella Typhimurium with proper regulatory compliances.
The companies/manufacturers will also work on the “commercialisation and marketing” of the vaccine, the ICMR said. The technology developed by scientists at the ICMR-NIRBI has shown the potential to develop a vaccine from the outer membrane structures of typhoid-causing pathogens.
