Sanofi’s vaccine business and Translate Bio will work together to develop an mRNA vaccine for the novel coronavirus. The collaboration will build on a 2018 pact in which Sanofi paid Translate $45 million to develop up to five mRNA vaccines for infectious diseases. For Sanofi, one of the world’s leading vaccine makers, the agreement complements a collaboration it formed in February with the US Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority to develop a cell-based vaccine against the virus.
