Preclinical work on our platform for mRNA vaccination against SARS-CoV-2 mutants is now at bioRxiv

mRNA vaccines encoding membrane-anchored receptor-binding domains of SARS-CoV-2 mutants induce strong humoral responses and can overcome immune imprinting biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Congratulations Harry - a significant step forward!

Great to see this funding announced. The MIPS team are looking forward to a productive long-term relationship with our friends from the Burnet Institute.

Hey Twitter- I'm looking for the right person to join my team at RMIT as an RA; role focuses on ageing & vaccines; till mid-2024; ideally someone with 1-2 years experience with🐁, flow and cell culture. DMs/emails welcome, as are RTs. More info/apply at... rmit.wd3.myworkdayjobs.com/RMIT_Careers/j…

B.1.1.529 has many more mutations in its receptor binding domain than other VOC. An ideal test for our RBD mRNA vaccine program. We're on it!

Good job my PhD students don't need this much lab space....

The Oxford vaccine has unique advantages, as does Pfizer's. Using both is Australia's best strategy theconversation.com/the-oxford-vac… via The Conversation - Australia + New Zealand

Great idea! - and why not fund all clinical research through MRFF. This would redefine the NHMRC as the body that is responsible for funding fundamental biomedical research.

Lets hope one of these will work...and get through efficacy studies quickly

Our progress been made possible by the extraordinary commitment of Harry Harry Al-Wassiti and Estelle Estelle Suys - and the knowledge base Harry has developed over the last few years. Thanks so much....

Test test test.......

Thanks Estelle for your enthusiasm, commitment and great ideas
