A frightening picture being painted by coronavirus
concerns across the world, there's a ray of hope emerging from the
University of Hyderabad (UoH). In what could be a welcome breakthrough
for the country and even the world, a faculty member of the biochemistry
department has developed a possible vaccine against the dreaded
coronavirus infection.
These vaccine candidates are small coronaviral peptides, molecules which
are used by cells to trigger an immune response to destroy cells
harbouring these viral peptides. Using powerful immunoinformatics
approaches with computational softwares, Dr Seema Mishra has designed
these potential epitopes in a way that can be used to vaccinate an
entire population.
