Their work has taken on greater urgency with the coronavirus pandemic, as pharma groups race to be the first to offer a vaccine to halt an outbreak that has killed nearly 470,000 people worldwide since December. “We believe that adding this mRNA platform to our vaccines development capabilities will help us advance prevention against current and future infectious diseases,” said Thomas Triomphe, executive vice president at Sanofi Pasteur, the firm’s vaccines unit.
“We are a little bit slower but we are much more likely to have success,” he said at a briefing ahead of Sanofi’s investor day Tuesday.
