      3M Corporate Research Materials Lab Scientists Mark Tomai, Ph.D. (immunologist), and George Griesgraber, Ph.D. (synthetic chemist), recently sat down with the American Chemical Society (ACS) to talk about a small molecule, or adjuvant, developed by their team at 3M. This 3M-052 adjuvant may help in the fight to vaccinate against SARS-CoV2 and other illnesses, including HIV.
       

      • Listen to the ACS podcast “Solutions” – to hear additional details about how immune cells respond to vaccines, how adjuvants work and how they may help make vaccines more effective.
      • Learn more about adjuvants – what they are and how they help boost the immune response to a given vaccine and in the field of immuno-oncology.
