Moderna’s Curious Timing and Dr. Fauci
In September 2019, Moderna CEO Stéphane Bancel made his annual visit to the U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH) and met with Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the NIH’s National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. Moderna had been working with the NIH on a few viruses that were global threats, such as Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS)-CoV.
Bancel proposed a test to demonstrate how quickly and efficiently Moderna could develop a vaccine for a virus in the event of a future pandemic. He suggested that the NIH could send Moderna a sequence of an unidentified virus and start the clock. “I told Dr. Fauci that I thought we could develop a vaccine in less than 60 days,” says Bancel. “As of November 2019, it was our plan to move forward with the test in the new year.”
In early January 2020, the plan changed. Bancel read about a new virus emerging in China and quickly emailed the NIH. Within a few days, the genetic sequence of the virus was available online. Instead of running a test, Moderna now faced an urgent real-world challenge to develop a vaccine that might potentially save millions of lives.
