BRANSON, Mo. - illiNews -- Metavalis, a biotechnology innovator developing a proprietary Stealth Lipid Nanoparticle (LNP) platform, is proud to announce the launch of its "Science & Shield" humanitarian initiative. To mark this milestone, the company has partnered with community organizers to host a massive winter aid event in Branson.

While Metavalis is pioneering a new generation of stealth delivery systems to tackle rare and challenging diseases, the company's leadership maintains that advanced science must be paired with immediate community care.

"Our stealth LNP technology is designed to go where other treatments can't, solving the hardest problems in medicine," said Jordan Bekemeier, Founder and CEO of Metavalis. "But while we engineer solutions for the future, we also have to solve the problems right in front of us. That is why we are deploying resources today not just in the lab, but in the parking lot, handing out supplies to neighbors who are struggling."
