LIVERMORE, Calif. - A Bay Area laboratory is helping come up with the technology that could make worldwide pandemics far easier and quicker to defeat.
The Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, which assures the safety, security, and reliability of America's nuclear weapons, is working to develop a vaccine to protect against future mutations.
Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) partnered up with UK biotech company ConserV Bioscience to create a universal coronavirus vaccine.
ConserV Bioscience’s expertise is in identifying substances that can induce an immune response in the body, substances called antigens.
