Notes

Codagenix is a clinical-stage biotechnology company pioneering the use of computational and synthetic biology to design a new generation of live-attenuated vaccines. Their proprietary SAVE™ (Synthetic Attenuated Virus Engineering) platform uses codon deoptimization to create weakened viruses that cannot revert to virulence, addressing a key safety concern with traditional live vaccines.

The company is developing vaccines for respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), influenza, and other infectious diseases, leveraging their platform to create vaccines that provide robust immune responses while maintaining an improved safety profile.
