Allowed this to spread. then we also have our task force which has engaged with many of the scientists and this is republican only. a lot of the scientists come from berkeley said he was given a hard time because he was going to talk to you can prvment he said i will talk to democrats as well. i dont know why they want to bury their head in the sand on this predominantly. facebook allows the conversation now and we have our first amendment right on facebook to discuss genetic engineering. so i t...

(Genentech, Inc.), seguramente no sorprendió. Pero que en 1981, Cuba emprendiera el desarrollo de la industria de la biotecnología, cuando no había similares en la región, ni siquiera en Europa, sí fue noticia. En su capacidad visionaria, Fidel sabía que el fu...

Cuba probará la Abdala en niños de 3 años en adelante, a pesar de no estar aprobada por la OMS El Centro de Ingeniería Genética y Biotecnología (CIGB) de Cuba recibió este jueves la autorización para iniciar un ensayo clínico en población pediátrica con el candidato vacunal Abdala, uno de los cinco desarrollados por instituciones científicas de la isla contra la covid-19. El ensayo clínico fase I/II para evaluar la seguridad e inmunogenicidad de Abadala en niños y adolescentes cub...

BioCubaFarma, anunció el jueves el fin del estudio con vacuna Abdala.

A Big Hit, A Big Miss, & Mixed Vaccine Schedules: The 18-Month Mark Remember when we were told the earliest we could possibly hope for a vaccine was 12 to 18 months? Here we are, coming up on 18 months after the sequencing of the SARS-CoV-2 genome: people are calling vaccines with delivering results now “late”! And 15 vaccines have at least interim phase 3 results. While this was all going on, a group of documentary-makers were interviewing people in real time to tell the story as history ...
