MIT AI-designed mRNA vaccine formula survives a year at room temperature
rohanpaul_ai · x · 2026-10-01
MIT engineers developed a new formulation that stabilizes the lipid nanoparticles delivering RNA vaccines, removing the ultracold storage requirement.
- Vaccines stay stable for a full year at room temperature and survive about 100°F for two months
- Could enable distribution to poor countries without cold chain, and skin-patch delivery instead of shots
- AI replaced exhaustive trial-and-error search, finding the thermostable formulation in weeks instead of months
