The COVID-19 pandemic brought mRNA to global prominence by developing highly effective vaccines by Moderna and Pfizer-BioNTech. However, mRNA technology has introduced new possibilities, particularly in developing personalized cancer vaccines and combination therapies. Another challenge is the potential for unintended immune responses.

If a virus is disease-causing, the right mutation can allow the virus to escape the immune response by changing the viral pieces the immune system uses to recognize the virus as a threat, pieces scientists call epitopes. These epitopes could then be used in a vaccine to train T cells, providing protective immunity.
