This is @realDonaldTrump’s 2019 Executive order to create universal flu vaccines and end the 80-year mediocre vaccine annual booster limbo. Centivax can deliver universal at 10% cost of Moderna’s $590M outdating H5N1 vaccine. trumpwhitehouse.archives.gov/presidential-a… @elonmusk @realRFKJr
IN NEWS: @centivax raises $45M Series A led by @FutureJurvetson. We asked @CurlyJungleJake (Founder & CEO) about the potential impact of a highly effective universal flu vaccine on global health. "We're aiming for 85-95% efficacy and that's a big deal." "The big problem with…
It's a tough time to be a vaccine startup, but @centivax CEO @CurlyJungleJake raised $45M for a universal flu shot made with 22 different mRNAs encoding viral strains back to 1918. A clinical trial starts next year. My story for @endpts has all the details endpoints.news/startup-raises…
Big milestone: Centivax has closed a $45M oversubscribed Series A! Led by Steve Jurvetson @FutureVenture with NFX, BOLD, Amplify, Base4, Kendall, and others. Dr. Emilio Emini (ex-Pfizer, Merck, Gates MRI) joins our Board. Universal vaccines are coming. prnewswire.com/news-releases/…
What if flu vaccines really worked? And I mean *really* worked—to the point that humanity's endemic relationship with influenza became history, not an ongoing global health challenge. What if we could mitigate *all* rapidly mutating pathogens? This is why Jake Glanville…
Smash the mutants 🦠 to end the pandemic era for humanity — with a single shot for all flu and then coronaviruses, HIV, herpes, malaria, cancer and more! These scourges have evaded effective vaccines because they continuously mutate their outer epitopes to evade our immune…
BREAKING: @centivax raises $45M Series A led by @FutureJurvetson (Future Ventures) to bring its universal flu vaccine into Phase I trials. @CurlyJungleJake (Founder & CEO) joins us on TBPN at 1:40 PM PT to break it down.
Taking one for the team 🐍 Centivax has developed a universal antidote for snake bites, and next, one shot for all forms of flu. Their unique approach will hopefully lead to the post-pandemic era for humanity, with a single shot for all coronaviruses, herpes, HIV, malaria, etc.

“We are 9 months away from a clinical trial of a universal #influenza #vaccine,” said Jacob Glanville of @centivax at #SynBioBeta2025. A big moment in the making—shared on stage with Amanda Cashin (Prisma) and @DeanKamen (ARMI). #SynBioBeta #Vaccines #Biotech @CurlyJungleJake
But today, his legacy extends into groundbreaking efforts at the Advanced Regenerative Manufacturing Institute @armi_usa, where he's pioneering new frontiers in regenerative medicine. Check out @DeanKamen applying the band-aid injection to Jacob Glanville @CurlyJungleJake at…
Dean Kamen demonstrates his low-cost self-administered vaccine delivery invention. No skills needed. No scary needle. Localized delivery to dendritic cells in the skin (to better promote an immune response). Universal vaccines (a single lifetime shot for all flu, HIV,…
An extremely dangerous hobby has led scientists to create the most widely effective snake antivenom on record. @centivax @CurlyJungleJake sciencealert.com/after-856-snak…
Universal antivenom from a hyperimmune subject who spent 18 years self-immunizing. One of my favorite universal immunity programs. video.snapstream.net/Play/3t81zMtOu…
RFK has indicated that Measles outbreak is a priority and is sending MMR vaccine to affected areas. 164 measles cases so far across Alaska, California, Georgia, Kentucky, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York City, Rhode Island and Texas. wsj.com/health/healthc…
Whether they update the strains or not, efficacy will be mediocre either way. Our #Centivax universal vaccine would get rid of this annual cycle of updates forever. @realDonaldTrump @elonmusk @realRFKJr nytimes.com/2025/02/26/us/…
Tired of the #FDA/#CDC/#WHO strain selections every year? Fine - let’s get the #Centivax universal vaccine out and we don’t need those meetings any more ever. nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcna1… @realDonaldTrump @elonmusk @realRFKJr
I actually agree with the #administration that #flu vaccine standard of care must be disrupted by solutions that are more broad, effective and tolerated than the status quo. 80 year-old strain-specific vaccine tech? We can do so much better. @realDonaldTrump @elonmusk @realRFKJr
