According to the Independent, scientists at Oxford have developed a potential vaccine for Marburg. However, they have been unable to run human trials due to lack of funding.

Are any institutional or high net worth funders in the EA community looking at this opportunity? In the event that the current Marburg outbreak gets out of control, a few weeks saved on vaccine approval could save thousands of lives.
