Millions of lives could be saved by a groundbreaking set of new vaccines for a range of conditions, including cancer, experts say. A pharmaceutical firm said it is confident drugs for cancer, cardiovascular and autoimmune diseases and other conditions will be ready by 2030.

Studies on these vaccines are also showing "tremendous promise", with some researchers saying 15 years' progress has "disappeared" in 12 to 18 months thanks to the success of the Covid-19 strike.

Dr Paul Burton, chief medical officer of the pharmaceutical company Moderna, said he believes the firm will be able to offer such treatments for "all kinds of disease areas" within five years.

The firm, which created a leading vaccine against the coronavirus, is developing cancer vaccines that target different tumor types.

Burton said: “We will have that vaccine and it will be very effective and save hundreds of thousands, if not millions of lives. I think we will be able to provide personalized cancer vaccines against different types of tumors to people around the world.”

He also said that multiple respiratory infections could be covered by a single injection, while mRNA therapies could be available for rare diseases for which there are currently no drugs. mRNA-based therapies work by teaching cells how to make a protein that boosts the body's immune response against disease.

Burton said: "I think we're going to have mRNA-based therapies for rare diseases that were previously untreatable, and I think 10 years from now, we're going to be approaching a world where you can actually identify the genetic cause of a disease and, with relative simplicity, go and modify it and repair it using mRNA-based technology.”
