The National Institutes of Health (NIH) recently awarded InVitria a Phase I, Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Grant. The NIH grant will support InVitria's development of a defined, animal-free cell culture media designed for use in industrial scale vaccine manufacturing. InVitria's media would fill an unmet need, as most current commercial vaccines are manufactured using fetal bovine serum or other animal-derived media components.
Animal-derived media components carry serious safety concerns involving the risk of viral and prion contamination. Regulatory bodies, in the US, Europe and Japan have discouraged the use of these components in biomanufacturing.
