Dyadic International, Inc. and Israel Institute for Biological Research announced it has advanced its collaboration with the Israel Institute for Biological Research (IIBR) and its commercial arm Life Science Research Israel (LSRI), to target emerging disease solutions. This partnership aims to leverage Dyadic's expertise in microbial platforms for flexible scale protein bioproduction and the IIBR?s antibodies and antigens discovery capabilities to develop and manufacture innovative solutions for addressing emerging diseases and potential bio-threats. Through this collaboration, both parties are working towards the development of effective treatments and vaccines to combat global health challenges with the intention of future commercialization (to date, the framework is non-binding and subject to the execution of a binding agreement to be negotiated by the parties) through collaborative out-licensing initiatives.

The collaboration aims to expedite the development of safe, protective, and effective vaccines and treatments against various biothreat agents, including toxins, viruses, and bacteria. These products can be manufactured more rapidly, in larger quantities and at a lower cost using Dyadic's C1 protein expression platform.
