Veristat Congratulates HIPRA for EMA Approval of Its BIMERVAX® COVID-19 Vaccine
Veristat, a scientific-minded, global clinical research organization (CRO), today congratulated HIPRA for marketing authorization by the European Medicines Agency (EMA) and European Commission of BIMERVAX®, a bivalent adjuvanted vaccine based on the Beta and Alpha variants of SARS-CoV-2 and indicated as a booster dose for people over 16 years of age. BIMERVAX® is the first bivalent recombinant protein vaccine against the virus to be authorized in the European Union and the first human health vaccine to be designed and developed in Spain.
HIPRA worked tirelessly to support the development of a technologically agile platform, allowing for the inclusion of more than one variant in a single active substance, previously not achievable in the designs of other vaccines approved in the European Union. Veristat’s global teams collaborated closely with HIPRA to establish a comprehensive strategy to demonstrate the benefits of the next-generation COVID-19 vaccine in adult populations. HIPRA engaged Veristat across clinical studies, encompassing the planning and implementation of the pertinent scientific, operational, and biometrics aspects of the clinical trials.
“Clinical trial activity remains steady in new vaccine development, as COVID-19 continues to impart tremendous health and societal impact on our world,” stated Patrick Flanagan, Chief Executive Officer at Veristat. “Maintaining vaccine options for all populations, especially immunocompromised populations, remains vitally important. Congratulations to the entire HIPRA team for putting your tremendous talents and technologies to work in helping to safeguard society further from the often devastating consequences of COVID-19. You have set a new standard for what it means to be a true partner. Veristat is proud to have used our bold thinking and scientific expertise to support HIPRA in the clinical trials for BIMERVAX®.”
Around the globe, health authorities, governments, and biopharmaceutical companies continue their efforts to fast-track the development of therapies or platforms to prevent, diagnose, and treat widespread illness due to COVID-19 and its variants. Veristat’s expertise comes from planning or conducting more than 70 COVID-19 projects for a broad range of therapies, including anti-inflammatories, antivirals, antiseptics sprays, cannabinoids, advanced therapies, probiotics, monoclonal antibodies, and vaccines.
“We are thrilled with the results of the studies completed for BIMERVAX® and we are confident that it will play an important role in vaccination plans,” stated HIPRA. "We would extend our heartiest thank you to the entire Veristat team who has worked so diligently. HIPRA is gratified to know that the efforts and commitment of the teams have resulted in an approved vaccine to advance protection against the virus.”

Kioxia Develops Core Technology that Will Allow the Practical Implementation of High-density, Low-power 3D DRAM12.12.2025 07:24:00 EET | Press release
Kioxia Corporation, a world leader in memory solutions, today announced the development of highly stackable oxide-semiconductor channel transistors that will enable the practical implementation of high-density, low-power 3D DRAM. This technology was presented at the IEEE International Electron Devices Meeting (IEDM) held in San Francisco, USA, on December 10, and has the potential to reduce power consumption across a wide range of applications, including AI servers and IoT components. In the era of AI, there is growing demand for DRAM with larger capacity and lower power consumption that can process large amounts of data. Traditional DRAM technology is reaching the physical limits of memory cell size scaling, prompting research into the 3D stacking of memory cells to provide additional capacity. The use of single-crystal silicon as the channel material for transistors in stacked memory cells, as is the case with conventional DRAM, drives up manufacturing costs, and the power required t
