Volume 100, Issue 2
Merck KGaA has agreed to acquire Exelead, an Indianapolis-based firm specializing in lipid nanoparticle (LNP)–based drug delivery technology. LNPs are a key part of messenger RNA (mRNA) therapeutics targeting COVID-19 and other diseases. The $780 million deal follows Merck’s acquisition last year of the mRNA maker AmpTec. Merck is also increasing its output of lipids, which it supplies for production of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine.
