BiondVax Pharmaceuticals Ltd., developer of the M-001 universal influenza vaccine candidate, recently reported the company's relocation to a newly constructed mid-size commercial scale manufacturing facility in Jerusalem, Israel.

Dr. Shimon Hassin, BiondVax's COO, commented, "BiondVax's new facility is custom-built for GMP manufacturing of our innovative flu vaccine candidate, which can be produced year-round and is designed to provide broad protection against influenza. As BiondVax moves into this next exciting stage, I would like to thank our partners at Biopharmax for the design and construction of our new facility."
