#UBC students engineered salmonella bacteria to detect and profile immune activity within cancerous tumors. Their gold-medal @iGEM diagnostic project can help target immunotherapy while reducing costs and invasive procedures. Congratulations, @ubcigem! 2021.igem.org/Team:British_C…

Two inoculations with a new SARS-CoV-2 mRNA-based vaccine that encodes a protein in the coronavirus spike elicited high titers of virus-neutralizing antibody in healthy adult volunteers. Virus-specific T-cell responses were also elicited. #COVID19 #SARSCoV2

UBC Virosight develops viral mRNA predictor software for 2020 Biodesign Challenge

The UBC Virosight team (previously UBC iGEM) has developed software for predicting mRNA production inside viruses as their entry for the 2020 Biodesign Challenge.

ubyssey.ca
Good luck to #UBC #Science students participating in Biodesign Challenge 2020. Using a neural network inspired by evolutionary biology, the team created a digital tool that predicts protein sequences of SARS-CoV-2 viruses likely to evolve in the future. bit.ly/2N76WKw
