St. Louis Magazine's 2021 A List Awards | June 11, 2021
St. Louis Magazine recognized BioSTL's Center for National Pandemic Resiliency with its 2021 A List Award:
We really don’t want to think about the next pandemic, which is why we’re thrilled that BioSTL and its Center for National Pandemic Resiliency have relieved us of the burden. Still, we’re keeping an eye trained on the new endeavor, to see what innovations it will bring forth.
It also recognized BioGenerator portfolio company Precision Virologics' CEO Dr. David Curiel with an A List Award:
When we found out that the father of the mRNA vaccine—the first researcher to publish proof of concept around the vaccine technology that would be crucial in fighting the novel coronavirus—lives in St. Louis, it felt remarkable. Now we await news on the latest vaccine from Dr. David Curiel, interim CEO of St. Louis–based biotech firm Precision Virologics: a nasal vaccine based on an entirely different vector, which Curiel is partnering with Bharat Biotech to produce.
