As the recent COVID-19 pandemic illustrated, zoonotic viruses and other pathogens pose a credible threat to public health. Recent advancements in vaccine technology, particularly mRNA vaccines, provide key tools for an effective and swift public health response. Although mRNA vaccines can be developed more quickly than traditional vaccines, fast and accurate construction of DNA templates for these vaccines remains a critical bottleneck. Using our novel DNA assembly technology, Sidewinder, we rapidly designed and built multiple mRNA vaccine candidates to guard against a potential outbreak of Hantavirus (ANDV). We successfully constructed the DNA templates from oligo pools and produced the mRNA for three vaccine candidates in just 2 days after delivery of the synthetic DNA oligos.
