Life at EVA Pharma

Cairo, Egypt – February 5, 2025 –Africa’s EVA Pharma, France’s DNA Script, and Belgium’s Quantoom Biosciences have signed a Memorandum of Understanding today, on the sidelines of the 2nd Vaccine and Other Health Products Manufacturing Forum for African Union Member States, organized by Africa CDC and hosted by the Egyptian United Procurement Authority (UPA) in Cairo. This collaboration aims to develop the first ever digital-to-biologics, end-to-end mRNA production platform, focusing on nucleic acid-based vaccines and therapeutics, including mRNA and saRNA vaccines for both human and animal health.&nbsp;
The platform, taking place in Egypt, will integrate DNA Script’s enzymatic DNA synthesis technologies with Quantoom’s Ntensify® mRNA synthesis and Ncapsulate® formulation technologies, combined with EVA Pharma’s vaccine development, top notch GMP sterile manufacturing expertise and commercialization capabilities. The collaboration addresses critical market needs, including rapid responses to infectious diseases outbreaks and routine immunizations.. The shared vision is to produce 100 million doses of RNA-based vaccines annually, fostering localization and strengthening regional autonomy in biopharmaceutical manufacturing. This collaboration will focus on developing a next generation, saRNA-based vaccines, targeting both human and animal health under the One Health approach to create a stronger defense against zoonotic diseases from the source.&nbsp;
This initiative will contribute to achieve Africa CDC’s target of 60% local vaccine production by 2040 and Egypt’s ambitious goal to manufacture 385 million vaccine doses annually by 2030, establishing itself as a global leader in vaccine production. It also supports public health resilience and food security across Africa and the Middle East.&nbsp;&nbsp;
“This moment will reshape African and global health security as we know it.” Said Dr. Riad Armanious, CEO of EVA Pharma, expressing his enthusiasm. “Our cross-continental collaboration will empower patients with next-generation, scalable, and versatile solutions that transform what once took years into a process achievable in weeks. This is not tomorrow’s promise, it is today’s reality: with an operational biologics manufacturing site producing 100 million vials and 1.5 billion doses of animal health vaccine already commercialized, we have the infrastructure to streamline vaccine production using groundbreaking mRNA technology and ensuring unparalleled safety.”
According to Marc Montserrat, CEO of DNA Script,&nbsp;&nbsp;“Our collaboration with EVA Pharma and Univercells-Quantoom to implement our proprietary enzymatic DNA synthesis technology directly supports the mission to accelerate vaccine development and delivery worldwide, and more broadly aligns with our vision to make biology programmable. By dramatically reducing the time needed to produce DNA templates, and by enabling the synthesis of longer and more complex DNA sequences, we're helping ensure that innovative vaccine technology can reach those at highest risk during emerging epidemics more rapidly than ever before.”&nbsp;
José Castillo, CEO of Quantoom Biosciences, added: “This collaboration showcases the transformative power of combining complementary expertise across borders. Together, we are not only advancing RNA technologies but also addressing global health inequities by making life-saving vaccines and therapeutics accessible to underserved populations.”&nbsp;
Hala Audi, CEO of Unizima, echoed this sentiment: “EVA Pharma is already showing the world the power of investing in the biopharma sector to create health and wealth in Africa and the Middle East. We are proud to support the tech transfer of some of the best technology for DNA and RNA manufacturing to Egypt, as the next chapter in their growth.”&nbsp;
This MoU reflects a strong commitment to advance global health equity and foster sustainable biopharma development. By combining their strengths, the partners aim to deliver versatile, scalable, and impactful solutions. These will shape the future of healthcare in Egypt and beyond, while contributing to economic resilience and regional pandemic preparedness and response.&nbsp;
