Our Story
Our path towards a new class of safe and effective therapeutics started 20 years ago, with the unexpected discovery by CureVac founder Ingmar Hoerr of the therapeutic potential of messenger RNA (mRNA). Although used by all cells of the body as a blueprint to build proteins based on instructions written in the genetic code of DNA, mRNA was thought too unstable to be harnassed for medical purposes. For the first time, through CureVac’s development activities this remarkable molecule started to reveal its huge potential in treating disease to evoke a broad and balanced immune response. CureVac is revolutionizing medicine to protect and improve people’s lives.
