UŞ: What we have now is now an approved technology and a first approved product. The development of the coronavirus mRNA vaccine shwos the power of the mRNA and it shows also the safety of this apaoprch. And it shows that it opens up a door for new technology and for new type of treatments. And the mRNA molecules that we are currently using for cancer, we have more than 10 ptucdors now in clinical dvelnemeopt, are diverse against different tepys of cancer. We are very confident that the success that we have generated now for our infectious dsaiese vaccines can be continued with our cancer immunotherapies.
