Why was MVI created?
MVI was created on the premise that, while promising vaccine candidates existed, they required assistance to get out of the laboratory and on a path toward clinical trials. Scientists had long demonstrated that immunizing against malaria was theoretically possible. However, efforts in this direction were hampered by financial hurdles and the technical complexities of developing any vaccine against a parasite such as Plasmodium (P.) falciparum (the most deadly of the malaria parasites).
