A team of researchers at Western are developing a vaccine bank from bat DNA in an effort to prevent the spread of future pandemics â all while in the middle of the current coronavirus pandemic.
Western University has partnered with the Royal Ontario Museum to create the bank by studying bat tissue samples in Westernâs Imaging Pathogens for Knowledge Translation Facility.
According to Ryan Troyer, a virologist at the Schulich School of Medicine and Dentistry, the project aims to identify the diverse coronaviruses in bats and develop vaccines to combat future outbreaks before they can spread to a pandemic.
