Market Need

Moat Biotechnology is targeting the recognized need for an intranasal vaccine for COVID-19 and other respiratory diseases. By encountering respiratory viruses at the nasal passage, it will be possible to significantly reduce their ability to replicate systemically within the body, where more serious viral morbidities occur.
