China Grand Pharmaceutical announced the successful set up of AuroRNA Biotech, a joint venture between eTheRNA immunotherapies and China Grand Pharmaceutical.

AuroRNA will use eTheRNA’s mRNA manufacturing platform and proprietary lipid nanoparticle delivery technology to produce and commercialize mRNA products in Greater China, and selected other regions. AuroRNA will also license in other products from eTheRNA, while also co-developing new products with the assistance of eTheRNA.
