Partnerships established to develop vaccines and biologics against CEPI's priority pathogens
Priority pathogens
CEPI supports the development of vaccines, platform technologies and manufacturing innovations to combat priority pathogens for which no licensed vaccines are currently available.
Research and development
CEPI is leading a broad range of ambitious programmes that aim to substantially reduce global epidemic and pandemic risk.
Manufacturing and supply chain
CEPI is bolstering global manufacturing capacity in underserved regions and harnessing innovative technologies to improve the speed, scale and access of vaccine manufacturing in response to epidemic and pandemic threats.
Calls for Proposals
Innovators worldwide are invited to apply to our scientific programmes to advance the development and manufacture of vaccines and tools against epidemic and pandemic threats.
Our portfolio
Since our launch in 2017, CEPI has carefully selected and announced over 50 partnerships to advance vaccine candidates against our priority pathogens and platform technologies for use against Disease X.

Our impact
CEPI has backed the development of 30+ vaccine candidates for its priority pathogens, overseeing a number of breakthroughs, including the first-ever approved Chikungunya vaccine and advancing the first-ever Nipah and Lassa vaccines into Phase 1 trials. A key player in the COVID-19 response, CEPI also has one of the world’s largest COVID-19 vaccine portfolios and co-led COVAX, which helped to distribute nearly 2 billion doses to 146 nations.
