Irish biotech Ovagen believes study can 'transform' global vaccine manufacture
Groundbreaking results achieved by Irish biotech Ovagen Group could "transform the economics of global vaccine manufacturing", the company said on Wednesday. The company carried out its breakthrough study into yellow fever virus yield. Conducted at the UK's Pirbright Institute, the comparative study showed that Ovagen's Germ Free embryonated chicken eggs delivered up to 7,600 doses of yellow fever virus per egg compared to just 422 doses per egg using current industry standards. Speaking about the results of the study, Dr. Catherine Caulfield, CEO of Ovagen said: "What we have developed isn't incremental, it's a complete rethink of the vaccine manufacturing process," said Ovagen chief executive Dr Catherine Caulfield. "Our germ free egg platform eliminates bacterial contamination and reduces the need for antibiotics in vaccine production, while delivering significantly higher viral yield. "This is high-impact science with high-value commercial outcomes.' The comparative study showed that Ovagen's Germ Free embryonated chicken eggs delivered up to 7,600 doses of yellow fever virus 17D per egg compared to just 422 doses per Specified Pathogen-Free (SPF) Egg using current industry standards. With a current global shortfall of 60m yellow fever vaccines per year, Ovagen's technology can help scale up production of yellow fever vaccine production by reducing reliance on key raw material inputs such as SPF eggs, antibiotics, and downstream processing resources. More than 140,000 eggs would be required to satisfy the current global shortfall using current industry standards compared with just 7,894 eggs using Ovagen's technology. The improved yield also dramatically reduces the volume of antibiotics typically required in conventional egg-based manufacturing, helping to mitigate risks associated with antimicrobial resistance and lowering overall production costs. Based in Co Mayo, Ovegen has been supported over €21m in funding from Enterprise Ireland, private investors, promoters funds, venture capital, and the European Innovation Council. Ovagen operates from a purpose-built state-of-the-art facility and has successfully completed pilot trials with major vaccine manufacturers. 'Enterprise Ireland is proud to support Ovagen as they continue to scale their innovation and ambition. Their germ-free egg technology shows real potential to drive greater efficiency in vaccine manufacturing, and it's encouraging to see this level of innovation emerging from the West of Ireland. Ovagen's progress highlights the strength of Ireland's biotech sector and the impact that Irish companies can have on global health challenges," said Enterprise Ireland head of industrial and life sciences Tom Cusack.

Avoca to craft new range with rare Irish wool
All 4.5 tonnes of yarn from Galway Wool Co-Op's 2025 harvest will be sold exclusively to Avoca and woven into clothing and homewares for a 100pc native Irish wool collection, debuting as part of the brand's autumn-winter collection. Known for its colourful weaves and dedication to supporting Irish producers, for Avoca this partnership is an exclusive collaboration, also supporting a full farm-to-textile journey, championing homegrown materials and traditional Irish craftsmanship in a contemporary way. The announcement comes as Galway Wool Co-Op prepares for the 2025 Meitheal, where wool will be harvested from a rare-breed sheep before being transformed into yarn. The Galway Wool Co-Op was founded five years ago with a mission to restore and celebrate native Irish wool from a rare breed of sheep called 'The Galway'. The strong, white fleeces from this sheep are affectionately known in Irish as 'báinín'. Thanks to the tireless work of The Galway Breeders Sheep Association, with support from the Department of Agriculture, the Galway sheep has been saved from the brink of extinction. Since its establishment, the Co-Op has been committed to achieving a fair and consistent price for the wool that reflects the hard work put in by each grower. Avoca's support through the business partnership ensures that this fair pricing is maintained and offers increased commercial opportunities for wool growers across Ireland, preserving this wonderful native breed. Speaking ahead of the harvest, Avoca managing director Brian Handley said that they are so proud to work with The Galway Wool Co-Op as their first ever commercial partner. 'As one of Ireland's oldest mills, we are keenly aware of the challenges faced by local wool growers, so we are delighted to be able to support the Co-Op in a meaningful way while bringing this beautiful, sustainable product to our customers,' Mr Handley said.
