About

Dangerous viruses pose a global, persistent and unavoidable threat to humanity.

What if we could predict which variants of a virus are of greatest concern and design medicines to protect against them, a priori?

Many of the world’s most threatening viruses are continually evolving, outwitting our immune systems, outpacing efforts to develop new effective medicines and causing untold human suffering.

Our pioneering approach centers on a unique technology platform which allows us to survey the entire landscape of existing and potential viral variants to design new vaccines and antibody drugs against the most threatening variants.

Founded by Flagship Pioneering, Apriori is a leading health security company with a mission to provide humanity with variant-proof protection against rapidly-evolving viruses.
