Mason researchers Narayanan and Veneziano receive funding to build better vaccines

(George Mason University) George Mason University's Aarthi Narayanan and Remi Veneziano received $314,000 from US Army Medical Research Acquisition Activity (USAMRAA) for a project using DNA-nanoparticles to improve vaccine design. The new design uses one-, two-, and three-dimensional structures made out of DNA molecules to increase immunogenic potential by delivering precise arrangements of heterogenous antigens while ensuring safety.
