The Saint Petersburg Scientific Research Institute of Vaccines and Serums specializes in the development and production of vaccines, particularly influenza vaccines, utilizing advanced biotechnological methods. With over 83 years of experience, the institute is recognized as a leading manufacturer in the Russian Federation, producing more than 35 million doses of influenza vaccines annually. Their flagship product, the Flu-M Tetra, is a quadrivalent inactivated split influenza vaccine that is formulated to provide immunity against multiple strains of the virus. The vaccine is updated yearly in accordance with WHO recommendations to ensure its effectiveness against circulating strains, highlighting the institute's commitment to maintaining high standards in vaccine efficacy and safety.

In addition to their vaccine production, the institute is engaged in extensive research and development activities across multiple laboratories, including one in Nicaragua. Their research focuses on creating high-tech medicinal products using recombinant technology, which involves genetic engineering techniques to develop high-yielding producer strains and fermentation processes. The institute is also exploring various platforms for developing recombinant drugs, including DNA and protein-based solutions, and is actively working on vaccines for diseases such as COVID-19, meningococcal infections, and human papillomavirus. This multifaceted approach underscores the institute's dedication to addressing both current and emerging health challenges through innovative biotechnological advancements.
