Big picture

Time period Development summary Diseases of focus More details
2008-2012 Early period Cancer BioNTech is founded. Mostly research is done in this period. Almost all the research is related to cancer.
2012 onwards RNA period Cancer BioNTech conducts its first trial using naked RNA in 2012, starting a period in that direction.[3]
2020 onwards COVID-19 period COVID-19 BioNTech comes to the forefront after releasing the Pfizer–BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine jointly with Pfizer.

Summary per year

Year Development summary
2008 BioNTech is founded.
2009 BioNTech acquires EUFETS and JPT Peptide Technologies.[4][5]
2012 BioNTech conducts its first trial using naked RNA, in which the molecule is injected directly into lymph nodes.[6]
2013 BioNTech becomes the first company ever, to start a fully individualized clinical program worldwide.[7]
2014 BioNTech remains a small company, not even having its own website.[8]
2015 BioNTech partners with Sanofi to develop up to five cancer immunotherapies, each consisting of a mixture of synthetic mRNAs.[9]
