New federal funding will enable the Canadian Pandemic Preparedness Hub to develop novel therapeutics, vaccines, and technologies to more effectively prevent and respond to future infectious disease threats.
Matthew Miller and Yingfu Li’s research teams have created a synthetic aptamer, made of genetic material, that can stick to a virus and protect the body from infection, much like antibodies.
