Gates Foundation Funds Self-Amplifying RNA Vaccine Research at University of Washington for Dose-Sparing
[RECORD.TXT] · cat --full
The Gates Foundation funded the Institute for Protein Design at the University of Washington to develop self-amplifying RNA (saRNA) vaccine platforms enabling large antigen expression from small RNA doses delivered in lipid nanoparticles. Unlike conventional mRNA vaccines, saRNA contains a replicase that amplifies the RNA inside cells, enabling dose-sparing formulations — a critical advantage for global vaccine equity when manufacturing capacity is limited. The work built on the Institute for Protein Design's existing Gates-funded antigen design research programme.

Gates-backed World Mosquito Program reaches 16 million people protected from dengue via Wolbachia method
The World Mosquito Program — backed in part by the Gates Foundation — announced in January 2026 that its Wolbachia-infected mosquito releases had reached over 16.1 million people across multiple countries, including Colombia, Indonesia, Brazil, Sri Lanka, Fiji, Vanuatu, and Vietnam. Wolbachia-carrying Aedes aegypti mosquitoes — which block dengue, Zika, chikungunya, and yellow fever transmission — had established self-sustaining populations in treated cities without requiring ongoing releases. Gold-standard randomised trials in Indonesia showed a 77% reduction in dengue incidence. The program represented one of the largest and most cost-effective vector control deployments in history.
