AstraZeneca has acquired Omniose, a preclinical biotechnology company developing vaccines against serious bacterial infections, following three years of exclusive research collaboration. Omniose becomes a wholly owned subsidiary, bringing its technology and expertise into AstraZeneca's Infectious Disease Unit, RTTNews reported. The platform uses an enzyme to produce and link bacterial polysaccharides and carrier proteins within a single cell. Traditional manufacturing attaches those components through chemical processes. AstraZeneca plans to integrate the platform into its vaccine capabilities and preclinical programs. Financial terms were not disclosed.
