“The Bulgarian protein vaccine with oligopeptides being developed is targeted against Covid-19 but also against a large number of coronaviruses,” said Assoc. Prof. Penka Petrova,” director of the Institute of Microbiology of the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences for the BNR.
“The vaccine is encapsulated in lipid nanoparticles. Together with the French institute Pasteur researchers are testing whether the idea works because it could pave the way to a major development of vaccines in the future. The Bulgarian anti-Covid-19 vaccine is very innovative, and besides the Pasteur institute, there are other parties from abroad interested in it as well. Bulgarian-Chinese financing will be sought for the clinical testing and possible manufacture of the vaccine, via the “Scientific research” fund,” Assoc. Prof. Pethova said.
