Pfizer to Develop mRNA Vaccines Without BioNTech
Pfizer's (NYSE: PFE) success in developing an effective COVID-19 vaccine in record time has given the pharmaceutical giant the confidence to invest heavily in the technology that underpins that vaccine. In an interview with The Wall Street Journal on Tuesday, CEO Albert Bourla revealed that Pfizer plans to become a leader in the development of new vaccines that rely on messenger RNA (mRNA).
Unfortunately for BioNTech (NASDAQ: BNTX), those plans don't rely on a continuation of the collaboration agreement that brought the world its first authorized mRNA-based vaccine. According to Bourla, Pfizer doesn't need to work with BioNTech anymore because it has the expertise to develop those new vaccines on its own.
